I was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis about 5 years ago and completed treatment. I was told that the cyst had resolved. However, since then, I have been experiencing ongoing symptoms. My concentration and focus have reduced, and I am unable to study or work for long periods. Prolonged concentration leads to headaches and eye pain.
I have major memory problems, including difficulty recalling information and finding words while speaking. I often feel dizzy, excessively sleepy, mentally foggy, and my head feels heavy and unfocused. These symptoms are affecting my daily functioning and studies.
My questions are:
1. Can these be long-term effects of treated neurocysticercosis?
2. Could residual changes like calcification or inflammation cause these symptoms?
3. Should I undergo further tests such as MRI brain, EEG, or blood tests (
B12, D,
thyroid)?
4. What treatment options are available to improve concentration, memory, and headaches?
Please advise on the next steps.
