posterior functional stenosis

Q. info on arachnoid cyst in the right posterior fossa

A. Posterior fossa cysts are one of the two most damaging kinds because of the structures underneath such as the cerebellum and brain stem and can cause other diseases. It can cause facial pain from pressure on the trigeminal nerve. Most people do not have any symptoms, but those that do, are prone to headaches.

Q. What is the medical sense behind Chinese Medicine? and traditional treatments?

A. it's trial and error of thousands of years. not always true but some times even more effective then western medicine. the best idea is to combine them both. at least that's my opinion.

Q. Is there any reason behind this? a bipolar woman is mostly misdiagnosed for depression…..is there any reason behind this?

A. Yes……A bipolar woman has less episodes of mania and is often milder than men. Thus they are mostly misdiagnosed for depression and because of fewer symptoms for the mania they tend to get misdiagnosed for depression.
