Detailed: Dementia Overview, its causes and symptoms.

Dementia, the brain disease giant is a collective term used to describe the problems that people with various underlying brain disorders or damage can have with their memory, language and thinking. Alzheimer's disease is the best known and most common disorder under the umbrella of dementia.
What is dementia?
Dementia is not a single disease in itself, but a general term to describe symptoms such as impairments to memory, communication and thinking.
While the likelihood of having dementia increases with age, it is not a normal part of aging. Before we had today's understanding of specific disorders, "going senile" used to be a common phrase for dementia ("senility"), which misunderstood it as a standard part of getting old.
Light cognitive impairments, by contrast, such as poorer short-term memory, can happen as a normal part of aging (we slowly start to lose brain cells as we age beyond our 20s. This is known as age-related cognitive decline, not dementia, because it does not cause the person or the people around them any problems.
Dementia describes two or more types of symptom that are severe enough to affect daily activities.
But as well as progressive brain cell death like that seen in Alzheimer's disease, dementia can be caused by a head injury, a stroke or a brain tumor, among other causes.
Some of the causes are simpler to understandin terms of how they affect the brain and lead to dementia:
- Vascular dementia: this results from brain cell death caused by conditions such as cerebrovascular disease, for example stroke.
This prevents normal blood flow, depriving brain cells of oxygen.
- Injury: post-traumatic dementia is directly related to brain cell death caused by injury.
- Some types of traumatic brain injury: particularly if repetitive, such as received bysports players - have been linked to certaindementias appearing later in life. Evidence is weak, however, that a single brain injury willraise the likelihood of having a degenerativedementia such as Alzheimer's disease.
Dementia can also be caused by:
- Prion diseases: from certain types ofprotein, as in CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakobdisease) and GSS(Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome).
- HIV infection: when the problem is simplytermed HIV-associated dementia. How thevirus damages brain cells is not certain.
- Reversible factors: some dementias can betreated by reversing the effects ofunderlying causes, including medicationinteractions, depression, vitamindeficiencies (for example, thiamine/B1,leading to Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome,which is most often caused by alcoholmisuse), and thyroid abnormalities.
Symptoms
The symptoms of dementia experienced bypatients, or noticed by people close to them,are exactly the same signs that healthcareprofessionals look for. Therefore, detailedinformation on these is given in the nextsection about tests and diagnosis.
A person with dementia may show any of thefollowing problems, mostly due to memoryloss - some of which they may notice (orbecome frustrated with) themselves, whileothers may only be picked up by carers orhealthcare workers as a cause for concern.
The signs used to compile this list arepublished by the American Academy of FamilyPhysicians (AAFP) in the journal AmericanFamily Physician
- Recent memory loss: a sign of this mightbe asking the same question repeatedly,forgetting about already asking it.
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks: forexample, making a drink or cooking a meal,but forgetting and leaving it.
- Problems communicating: difficulty withlanguage by forgetting simple words orusing the wrong ones.
- Disorientation: with time and place, gettinglost on a previously familiar street close tohome, for example, and forgetting how theygot there or would get home again.
- Poor judgment: the AAFP says: "Even awell person might get distracted and forgetto watch a child for a little while. Peoplewith dementia, however, might forget allabout the child and just leave the house forthe day."
- Problems with abstract thinking: forexample, dealing with money.
- Misplacing things: including putting themin the wrong places and forgetting aboutdoing this.
- Mood changes: unlike those we all have,swinging quickly through a set of moods.
- Personality changes: becoming irritable,suspicious or fearful, for example.
- Loss of initiative: showing less interest instarting something or going somewhere.

Be sure to see your doctor if you have any of the above symptoms.

Detailed: Breast Cancer Overview, Its symptoms, causes and Survival rate.

A Tbthealth reader commented on one of my posts on Facebook(also, you can email me on any topic you want me to Talkabout!) and said to help orientate  him on Breast cancer as a whole. You might also need this. Read....
What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer is a kind of cancer that develops from breast cells. Breast cancer usually starts off in the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply them with milk. A malignant tumor can spread to other parts of the body. A breast cancer that started off in the lobules is known as lobular carcinoma, while one that developed from the ducts is called ductal carcinoma.
The vast majority of breast cancer cases occur in females. This article focuses on breast cancer in women. We also have an article about male breast cancer .
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide. It accounts for 16% of all female cancers and 22.9% of invasive cancers in women. 18.2% of all cancer deaths worldwide, including both males and females, are from breast cancer.
Breast cancer rates are much higher in developed nations compared to developing ones. There are several reasons for this, with possibly life-expectancy being one of the key factors - breast cancer is more common in elderly women; women in the richest countries live much longer than those in the poorest nations. The different lifestyles and eating habits of females in rich and poor countries are also contributory factors, experts believe.
According to the National Cancer Institute , 232,340 female breast cancers and 2,240 male breast cancers are reported in the USA each year, as well as about 39,620 deaths caused by the disease.
The first symptoms of breast cancer are usually an area of thickened tissue in the woman's breast, or a lump. The majority of lumps are not cancerous; however, women should get them checked by a health care professional.
Women who detect any of the following signs or symptoms should tell their doctor
- A lump in a breast
- A pain in the armpits or breast that does not seem to be related to the woman's menstrual period
- Pitting or redness of the skin of the breast; like the skin of an orange
- A rash around (or on) one of the nipples
- A swelling (lump) in one of the armpits
- An area of thickened tissue in a breast
- One of the nipples has a discharge;
sometimes it may contain blood
- The nipple changes in appearance; it may become sunken or inverted
- The size or the shape of the breast changes
- The nipple-skin or breast-skin may have started to peel, scale or flake.
What causes breast cancer?
Experts are not sure what causes breast cancer. It is hard to say why one person develops the disease while another does not.
We know that some risk factors can impact on a woman's likelihood of developing breast cancer. These are:
Getting older - the older a woman gets, the higher is her risk of developing breast cancer; age is a risk factor. Over 80% of all female breast cancers occur among women aged 50+ years (after the menopause).
Genetics - women who have a close relative who has/had breast or ovarian cancer are more likely to develop breast cancer. If two close family members develop the disease, it does not necessarily mean they shared the genes that make them more vulnerable, because breast cancer is a relatively common cancer.
The majority of breast cancers are not hereditary.
Women who carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have a considerably higher risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer.
These genes can be inherited. TP53,
another gene, is also linked to greater
breast cancer risk.
A history of breast cancer - women who have had breast cancer, even non-invasive cancer, are more likely to develop the disease again, compared to women who have no history of the disease.
Having had certain types of breast lumps - Women who have had some types of benign (non-cancerous) breast lumps are more likely to develop cancer later on. Examples include atypical ductal hyperplasia or lobular carcinoma in situ.
Dense breast tissue - women with more dense breast tissue have a greater chance of developing breast cancer.
Estrogen exposure - women who started having periods earlier or entered menopause later than usual have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. This is because their bodies have been exposed to estrogen for longer. Estrogen exposure begins when periods start, and drops dramatically during the menopause.
Obesity - post-menopausal obese and overweight women may have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Experts say that there are higher levels of estrogen in obese menopausal women, which may be the cause of the higher risk.
Height - taller-than-average women have a slightly greater likelihood of developing breast cancer than shorter-than-average women. Experts are not sure why.
Alcohol consumption - the more alcohol a woman regularly drinks, the higher her risk of developing breast cancer is. The Mayo Clinic says that if a woman wants to drink, she should not exceed one alcoholic beverage per day.
Radiation exposure - undergoing X-rays and CT scans may raise a woman's risk of developing breast cancer slightly. Scientists at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center found that women who had been treated with radiation to the chest for a childhood cancer have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
HRT (hormone replacement therapy) - both forms, combined and estrogen-only HRT therapies may increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer slightly.
Combined HRT causes a higher risk.
Certain jobs - French researchers found that women who worked at night prior to a first pregnancy had a higher risk of eventually developing breast cancer.
Canadian researchers found that certain jobs, especially those that bring the human body into contact with possible carcinogens and endocrine disruptors are linked to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Examples include bar/gambling,
automotive plastics manufacturing, metal-working, food canning and agriculture. They reported their findings in the November 2012 issue of Environmental Health .
Cosmetic implants may undermine breast cancer survival - women who have cosmetic breast implants and develop breast cancer may have a higher risk of dying prematurely form the disease compared to other females, researchers from Canada reported in the BMJ (British Medical Journal) (May 2013 issue).
The team looked at twelve peer-reviewed articles on observational studies which had been carried out in Europe, the USA and Canada.
Experts had long-wondered whether
cosmetic breast implants might make it harder to spot malignancy at an early
stage, because they produce shadows on mammograms.
In this latest study, the authors found that a woman with a cosmetic breast implant has a 25% higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer when the disease has already advanced, compared to those with no implants.
Women with cosmetic breast implants who are diagnosed with breast cancer have a 38% higher risk of death from the disease, compared to other patients diagnosed with the same disease who have no implants, the researchers wrote.
After warning that there were some
limitations in the twelve studies they looked at, the authors concluded "Further investigations are warranted into the long term effects of cosmetic breast implants on the detection and prognosis of breast cancer, adjusting for potential confounders."
Survival rate
A common misconception is to treat survival rates as ‘cure’ rates. There are very few types of cancer for which the five-year survival rate effectively represents a cure rate. For the vast majority of cancers survival rates continue to fall beyond five years after diagnosis, most notably breast cancer, where survival rates continue to decline more than twenty years after diagnosis.
Breast cancer survival rates beyond five years have been improving for more than 20 years, probably due to increased breast awareness, earlier detection and improved treatment.
Current ten year survival statistics for people diagnosed with primary breast cancer (ie no spread to other parts of the body) are between 20% and 89%, breaking down as follows:
For small early breast cancers, between 70% and 89% live for 10 years after diagnosis.
Between 70 - 78% in the following situations live for at least 10 years after diagnosis
A cancer smaller than 2cm, low grade, with cancer in 4 or more lymph nodes
A cancer smaller than 2cm, intermediate grade, with cancer in 1, 2 or 3 lymph nodes
Cancer between 2 and 7cm, low grade, with cancer in 1, 2, or 3 lymph nodes.
Cancer between 2 and 7cm, intermediate grade, with no cancer in the lymph nodes
In other words 5 - 10 years.

Detailed: Farting Overview, Why we fart + top foods that cause flatulence.

Flatulence, also known as "farting" or "passing wind", is the passing of gas from the digestive system out of the back passage.
Flatus is the medical word for gas generated in the intestinal tract. Medical literature describes flatulence as "flatus expelled through the anus" .
Flatulence is commonly a source of laughter or embarrassment. Excessive flatulence can cause enormous discomfort and distress, mainly when there are other people around. A bout of flatulence can strike at the most undesirable moments - during a meeting, or even worse in a crowded elevator. In the majority of cases, it is not a serious condition.
Doctors say that in the majority of cases, excessive gas can be controlled with a change of diet and lifestyle.
Passing wind is a normal biological process, like sweating, burping or breathing. Everybody farts, even those who seem not to. So don't feel about it
The average human passes wind approximately 15 times a day. (NHS, UK)
Why do humans fart?
When we eat, drink or swallow saliva, we also swallow tiny amounts of air. This swallowed air accumulates in the gut. The gas within our digestive system consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen.
When we digest food, gas, mainly in the form of hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide is released.
As the gas builds up, the body may need to get rid of it - this is done by either burping (belching) or flatulence (farting).
Many times, flatulence occurs and the person is unaware of it - there is no smell, and the amount is tiny. When there is a smell, there are usually small amounts of sulfur gases. If food has not been digested properly, it starts to decompose (rot), releasing sulfur.
Flatulence signs and symptoms
In the majority of cases, flatulence is nothing to worry about; it is a normal human condition which can be treated with self-care techniques.
Flatulence is not usually a reason to go and see your doctor, unless the symptoms are severe, it occurs too frequently and with a foul smell, or there are some additional symptoms which could indicate the presence of an underlying digestive condition.
A bloated feeling or pains in the abdomen can commonly accompany flatulence.
Below are some signs and symptoms of flatulence when they are seen as troublesome:
- Episodes of flatulence occur frequently, often involuntarily
- When an episode of flatulence occurs, a lot of wind is released
- Farting is consistently foul-smelling
- There may be sharp, jabbing pains (cramps) in the abdomen. Sometimes they may change location, within the abdomen
A bloated feeling in the abdomen
A knotted sensation in the abdomen.
What causes flatulence?
Flatulence can have several natural causes, and may also be the consequence of a condition that affects the digestive system.
Intestinal gas consists of:
Exogenous sources - air that comes in from outside. We swallow it when we eat, drink or swallow saliva. It can occur when we experience nausea or acid reflux and excess saliva is produced.
Endogenous sources - it is produced within the gut. Gas may be produced as a by-product of digestion of certain foods, or when foods are not digested completely.
Anything that causes food not to be
digested completely by the stomach and/or small intestine can cause flatulence when it reaches the large intestine.
Foods that cause flatulence are generally those high in certain polysaccharides, particularly oligosaccharides, such as inulin.
Inulin belongs to a class of dietary fibers known as fructans.
Examples include:
Artichokes
Beans
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Cashews
Cauliflower
Dairy products
Egg
Garlic
Leeks
Lentils
Oats
Onions
Radishes
Rutabagas
Scallions
Sweet potatoes
Turnips
Wheat
Yeast (in baked products, such as bread).
Generally foods that dont easily digest.

Must Read Article: Malaria Overview

Hello Everybody, how are you?
For sometime now, I have been seeing adverts, hearing musics and watching dramas telling US how to be malaria free by using Mosquitoes net and others. I even remember the advert which AY, the popular comedian acted, i watched it on YouTube, should I narrate it a little?. Let me because of my readers who like "Stories". It goes thus...
The guy was invited to an interview, he ironed his cloth, got his shoes ready, fetched water to bath, since he needs no delay as interviews are always very early in the morning.
According to the very short comic drama , the next morning he was down on the bed as a result of malaria, shaking and advised everyone to be mindful of this treacherous disease which caught up with him. It was a bit educative and comedic. That's the drama.
Another song which I just listened to yesterday which was sang by one of Africa most successful musician 2face, featuring a Northern-Nigeria musician. If you could remember he also sang the Popular African Queen which is played in almost everyfilm talking about the power of ladies in Africa. The song was also educative and interesting. I wish I knew the song. Lol. Didn't download it so I don't know any of the song lyric. Don't blame me, all I know was that the lyrics was advising us on malaria. Another drama on Malaria I watched was how a mother lost her son and grandchild due to malaria. I could go on and on but I don't want to bore you with long stories. Yea, these adverts were what prompted me to want to write about Malaria as a whole to fulfill my own part in advising and telling us that Malaria is very bad and Dangerous, infact, it was Among the recently ranked Most Worst diseases in the world.
Now What Is Malaria?
Malaria is a life-threatening disease. Which is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. Mosquitoes that are infected carry the Plasmodium parasite.
When this Plasmodium parasitic mosquito bites you, the parasite is released into your bloodstream which travel down to your liver, where they mature. After several days, the mature parasites enter the bloodstream and begin to infect red blood cells. Within 48 to 72 hours, the parasites inside the red blood cells multiply, causing the infected cells to burst open. The parasites continues it's mission in the body which is to infect red blood cells, resulting in symptoms that occur in two-to-three-day cycles.
Now where is malaria found?.
Malaria is typically found in tropical and subtropical climates (e.g., Africa) where the parasites can live. The World Health Organization estimates that between 300 and 500 million people are infected with this treacherous disease almost every year. The disease kills 1 million
people annually. Most cases of this unwanted disease, malaria develop in people who travel to countries where malaria is more common.
Now, What Causes Malaria?
Like I said earlier, Malaria can be caused by an infected mosquito which has the Plasmodium parasite. In addition, an infected mother can pass the disease to her baby at birth. This type of malaria known as congenital malaria. That is, by gene. Because malaria is transmitted by blood, it can also be transmitted through an organ transplant or a transfusion. Shared use of needles or syringes also has it hands in the cause of malaria.
Now, What Are its Symptoms?
Symptoms of malaria typically develop within 10 days to four weeks following the infection.
However, In some patients, symptoms may not develop for several months. Some malarial parasites can enter the body but will be dormant for a long period of time. But there are some common symptoms, Many of which include:
- High fever
- Profuse sweating
- Headache
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Anaemia
- Muscle pain
- Convulsions
- Coma
- Bloody stools
Like I said, Malaria is a very bad disease rated by Tbthealth as one of the worst disease in the world.
Use Mosquito nets and repellents that contains some good amount of Deet, but Also ensure not to expose Little children to the repellents which contains the Deer,  as it can cause many harm. Some of the harm High presence of deet can cause to the human body are rashes, headache, irritation and many others which I will write later in my more to come articles.
A Malaria Free Generation begins with us.

Detailed: Stroke overview, causes and symptoms.

I have seen patients with stroke many times and I can tell you clearly that it is a very bad ailment!!.
Get oriented:
Symptoms
Watch for these signs and symptoms if you think you or someone else may be having a stroke. Note when your signs and symptoms begin, because the length of time they have been present may guide your treatment
decisions:
Trouble with speaking and understanding.
You may experience confusion. You may slur your words or have difficulty
understanding speech.
Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg. You may develop sudden numbness, weakness or paralysis in your face, arm or leg, especially on one side of your body. Try to raise both your arms over your head at
the same time. If one arm begins to fall, you may be having a stroke. Similarly, one side of your mouth may droop when you try to smile.
Trouble with seeing in one or both eyes.
You may suddenly have blurred or
blackened vision in one or both eyes, or you may see double.
Headache. A sudden, severe headache, which may be accompanied by vomiting, dizziness or altered consciousness, may
indicate you're having a stroke.
Trouble with walking. You may stumble or experience sudden dizziness, loss of balance or loss of coordination.
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs or symptoms of a stroke, even if they seem to fluctuate or disappear.
Think "FAST" and do the following:
Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms.
Does one arm drift downward? Or is one arm unable to raise up?
Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is his or her speech slurred or strange?
Time. If you observe any of these signs, call 911 immediately.
Call 911 or your local emergency number right away. Don't wait to see if symptoms go away.
Every minute counts. The longer a stroke goes untreated, the greater the potential for brain damage and disability.
If you're with someone you suspect is having a stroke, watch the person carefully while waiting for emergency assistance.
Causes
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives your brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can
cause your brain cells to die.
A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Some people may experience only a temporary
disruption of blood flow to their brain
(transient ischemic attack, or TIA).
Ischemic stroke
About 85 percent of strokes are ischemic strokes. Ischemic strokes occur when the arteries to your brain become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow
(ischemia). The most common ischemic strokes include:
Thrombotic stroke. A thrombotic stroke occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one of the arteries that supply blood to your brain. A clot may be caused by fatty
deposits (plaque) that build up in arteries and cause reduced blood flow (atherosclerosis) or other artery conditions.
Embolic stroke. An embolic stroke occurs when a blood clot or other debris forms away from your brain — commonly in your heart — and is swept through your bloodstream to lodge in narrower brain arteries. This type of blood clot is called an
embolus.
Hemorrhagic stroke
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in your brain leaks or ruptures. Brain hemorrhages can result from many conditions that affect your blood vessels, including
uncontrolled high blood pressure
(hypertension), overtreatment with
anticoagulants and weak spots in your blood vessel walls (aneurysms).
A less common cause of hemorrhage is the rupture of an abnormal tangle of thin-walled blood vessels (arteriovenous malformation)
present at birth. Types of hemorrhagic stroke
include:
Intracerebral hemorrhage. In an
intracerebral hemorrhage, a blood vessel in the brain bursts and spills into the surrounding brain tissue, damaging brain cells. Brain cells beyond the leak are deprived of blood and also damaged.
High blood pressure, trauma, vascular malformations, use of blood-thinning medications and other conditions may cause an intracerebral hemorrhage.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage. In a
subarachnoid hemorrhage, an artery on or near the surface of your brain bursts and spills into the space between the surface of your brain and your skull. This bleeding is often signaled by a sudden, severe
headache.
A subarachnoid hemorrhage is commonly caused by the bursting of a small sack-shaped or berry-shaped outpouching on an artery known as an aneurysm. After the hemorrhage, the blood vessels in your brain
may widen and narrow erratically
(vasospasm), causing brain cell damage by further limiting blood flow.
Ischemic stroke
Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) — also known as a ministroke — is a brief period of symptoms similar to those you'd have in a stroke. A temporary decrease in blood supply
to part of your brain causes TIAs, which often last less than five minutes.
Like an ischemic stroke, a TIA occurs when a clot or debris blocks blood flow to part of your brain. A TIA doesn't leave lasting symptoms
because the blockage is temporary.
Seek emergency care even if your symptoms seem to clear up. Having a TIA puts you at greater risk of having a full-blown stroke, causing permanent damage later. If you've
had a TIA, it means there's likely a partially blocked or narrowed artery leading to your brain or a clot source in the heart.
It's not possible to tell if you're having a stroke or a TIA based only on your symptoms.
Up to half of people whose symptoms appear to go away actually have had a stroke causing
brain damage.
Risk factors
Many factors can increase your risk of a stroke. Some factors can also increase your chances of having a heart attack. Potentially treatable stroke risk factors include:
- Lifestyle risk factors
- Being overweight or obese
- Physical inactivity
- Heavy or binge drinking
- Use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamines
Medical risk factors
- High blood pressure — the risk of stroke begins to increase at blood pressure readings higher than 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Your doctor will help you
decide on a target blood pressure based on your age, whether you have diabetes and other factors.
- Cigarette smoking or exposure to
secondhand smoke.
- High cholesterol.
- Diabetes.
- Obstructive sleep apnea — a sleep disorder in which the oxygen level intermittently drops during the night.
- Cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, heart defects, heart infection or abnormal heart rhythm.
Other factors associated with a higher risk of stroke include:
Personal or family history of stroke, heart attack or transient ischemic attack.
Being age 55 or older.
Race — African-Americans have a higher risk of stroke than do people of other races.
Gender — Men have a higher risk of stroke
than women. Women are usually older when they have strokes, and they're more likely to die of strokes than are men. Also, they may have some risk from some birth control pills or hormone therapies that include estrogen, as well as from pregnancy and childbirth.
Complications
A stroke can sometimes cause temporary or permanent disabilities, depending on how long the brain lacks blood flow and which part was
affected. Complications may include:
Paralysis or loss of muscle movement. You may become paralyzed on one side of your
body, or lose control of certain muscles, such as those on one side of your face or one arm. Physical therapy may help you return to activities hampered by paralysis,
such as walking, eating and dressing.
Difficulty talking or swallowing. A stroke may cause you to have less control over the way the muscles in your mouth and throat move, making it difficult for you to talk clearly (dysarthria), swallow or eat (dysphagia). You also may have difficulty with language (aphasia), including speaking or understanding speech, reading or writing. Therapy with a speech and language pathologist may help.
Memory loss or thinking difficulties. Many people who have had strokes experience some memory loss. Others may have difficulty thinking, making judgments, reasoning and understanding concepts.
Emotional problems. People who have had strokes may have more difficulty controlling their emotions, or they may develop depression.
Pain. People who have had strokes may have pain, numbness or other strange sensations in parts of their bodies affected by stroke. For example, if a stroke causes you to lose feeling in your left arm, you may
develop an uncomfortable tingling
sensation in that arm.
People also may be sensitive to
temperature changes, especially extreme cold after a stroke. This complication is known as central stroke pain or central pain syndrome. This condition generally develops several weeks after a stroke, and it
may improve over time. But because the pain is caused by a problem in your brain, rather than a physical injury, there are few treatments.
Changes in behavior and self-care ability.
People who have had strokes may become more withdrawn and less social or more impulsive. They may need help with grooming and daily chores.
As with any brain injury, the success of treating these complications will vary from person to person.
