Medication-induced nerve damage to brain. experience?

[Dann2]

Hi, still totally on my own trying to live with this. Anyone experienced this?

The medication i took years ago was for acne but also is used for chemotherapy, i’ve since found out. Pretty sure, after years of trying to find answers, it has damaged the nerves in my brain. (i get horrible tingling, pain, numbness, memory and cognition problems, vision problems, tinnitus…) Possibly known as head Neuropathy?

Has anyone had these kind of side effects from chemo drugs?

if so, can anything be done to reduce these side effects? ie. medications? alternative therapies? ..anything?

I am devastated dealing with these brain problems. it really is ruining my life. i’m going to call a brain charity tomorrow too because i am desperate for help.

I am a 41 year old male, and this has severely affected my life for 20 years and i am at my wits end dealing with it. thank you

Hi Dann2

Have a look into medical cannabis oil and flower. I have been successfully treating my ABI from a virus with this and had dramatically improved my quality of life.

You will have to book a private clinic appointment with a neurologist, £50 consultation and then the costs for the medication if that’s feasible for you.

Hope this helps

thanks. Is this the same thing as CBD oil? i tried taking that once and it made me feel very odd.😟

It’s got all of the medicinal compounds in the medical cannabis oil including thc and all of the terpenes.

If you bought the CBD oil off the shelf it’s very likely been CBD isolate oil which isn’t as balancing as full spectrum medical grade produced flowers.
