moyamoya and alcohol please help
Apr 4th, 2015 at 12:21am
 
So the other day my cousin who recently moved in a few months ago took me to Taco bell and while he was sitting in the car with my 5 year old waiting for me to come out with our food he had a seizure. None of us knew he had moyamoya and since he is kind of slow im guessing since it has gone untreated he didnt even understand what the disease is. He is 33 and never had a surgery from my understanding he has had it for a long time. He thinks alot like a child would. The night before the seizure he had drank alot and the drs are saying he isnt supposed to drink and that this was the cause of the seizure. Over a year ago he had a really bad stroke and couldve died. Im wondering if anyone else has had this experience with alcohol.. he gets drunk very easily and gets very very drunk. Hes an adult so its really hard to keep him from doing anything but the dr said his frontal lobe that controls decision making is very badly damaged. im worried we need help.

Hi, where are you located?  You should try to locate a specialist near you for an exam (angiogram?) as soon as possible.  My son had a stroke at age 40 and was diagnosed, and has since had two operations with Dr. Mericle in Nashville.  We were told also that a stroke could kill him.  Since the operation he is slowly growing new arteries on both sides, but he still has headaches nearly all the time.

Yes, he should stop drinking, hopefully he will if you can talk with  him.  And I wish you the best of luck.
