A: The most common symptoms of brain tumour people have when they first go to the doctor are headaches and fits. But do remember, brain tumours are rare causes of both headaches and fits. There are much more common reasons for both these symptoms. So if you have either of these, do go to the doctor as soon as possible, but try not to panic or worry too much until you find out more.

Does anyone know what this could be?

Q: Hi, I am 26 year old woman with 2 kids. And i am miffed as to what my symptoms are, i am in the uk and we can not self refer ourselves to a neorologist (sp) which is where i want to go, we are also registered with a certain doctors clinic where their are numerous doctors (gp’s), i have seeked 4 different opinions within my clinic and have been told different things.. This has been going on for about 5 years, i had an mri of the head and i have had 2 ecg’s (electrodes on my head) and they were all negative.. my blood pressure is on the low side of normal 105/60, But this past few months have gotton worse.. here are my symptoms:pain in my right ear. (no sign of infections, just a scar from infections as being a kid).ear feels as if theres wind blowing in it sometimes.pain all around the ear. (skull area)pain in my right temple following onto my right cheek.pain just above my right temple.pain above my right eye following from above my right temple.pain down my right hand side of my neck as if its follows on from my ear.my neck clicks when i move it sometimes grinds.on a flare up i call it my right eye waters a little, and the areas with pain are tender to touch, tender when i cough, tender when i sneeze and tender when i move my head. (lasts few hours).tingling down right side of my face.I have been told, migrane (but i have had migrane and thats throbbing?), Trigeminal Neuralgia? tmj? ( i dont have an overbite nor do i grind, no sign in my teeth of that but my jaw does click when i open it). i was worried about it being a brain tumour but have been reasured that the pain would get worse, i would have high blood pressure, and other symptoms, and have been told that the sympoms i am experiencing wouldnt be seen as having one of these. so i am reasured of this, but i really want some answers and am not getting any.I have been to the dentist ordered a mouthguard just incase, and i been refered to a dental consultant at the hospital, (can they do a ct scan?) been to the opticians, all is ok he took a pic of behind my eyes no shadows or anything.. does anyone know what this could be? If your in the uk and see a neuro could you ask them for me? i am so desperate..thankyou xx

A: That doesn’t sound like very much fun. I’m sorry I don’t know what the problem might be, but have you seen a physiotherapist or a chiropractor? Maybe something is out of alignment. Other than that, have you tried any alternative therapies such as reiki? If you have had pain for that long it might be worth a try if you can’t find answers elsewhere.

My thumb twitches slightly?

Q: I have been a phlebotomist (draw blood) for a year now and just recently I have noticed that I get a slight twitch in my right thumb, not sure what is causing it. For years when I would take my car to the car wash and use a high pressure washer afterwards my right hand will feel weak and if I make a fist it will shake uncontrollably. I quit going to the do it yourself car washes for this reason. I had a CT scan done a few months ago after having one of my severe migraines and there was no signs of brain tumors. I’m scared as to what might be happening now with my thumb as I finally found something I truly love to do. Any suggestions on what might be causing this twitch. I do have an annual check up with my doctor next month due to being diagnosed as borderline diabetic. Any suggestion on my twitch would be greatly appreciated.
