Everything clinical on this site is general education. It is not personal medical advice, it creates no clinician-patient relationship, and it cannot account for your situation. Never start or stop a medication because of something you read here — discuss it with your prescriber.

Everything clinical on this site is published for general education. It is not medical advice, it does not establish a clinician-patient relationship, and it cannot substitute for evaluation, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified clinician who has taken your history and examined you.
That is a genuine limitation rather than a formality. In neurology a diagnosis frequently rests on the examination and on precisely how a symptom is described — whether a tremor appears at rest or in use, whether facial pain is electric or aching, whether dizziness means spinning or faintness. None of that can be established by reading a page, and pages describing a condition in general terms cannot tell you whether you have it.
Never delay seeking care, disregard advice you have been given, or start or stop a medication because of something you read here. Discuss any change with the clinician who prescribed it. Never stop an anti-seizure medication to see what happens.
Sudden facial droop, one-sided weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking or understanding, sudden vision loss, sudden severe unsteadiness. Call 911.
Or a headache with fever and neck stiffness, or one that begins after a head injury. Emergency department, not an appointment.
A seizure lasting more than five minutes, seizures repeating without recovery between them, or a first seizure with no prior diagnosis.
Increasing drowsiness, repeated vomiting, new weakness or difficulty speaking. Anyone taking blood thinners needs assessment regardless of how minor it seemed.
Clinical content on this site is prepared with reference to guidance from professional and public bodies including the American Academy of Neurology, the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and pages carry the sources they draw on.
Content is reviewed by a clinician at the practice and carries a last-reviewed date. Review is periodic rather than continuous, medicine changes, and a page can be out of date between reviews. Where published clinical guidance and a page on this site disagree, the guidance is correct.
The practice describes only what it does: adult outpatient neurology for patients 18 and older, with in-office diagnostic studies. It performs no surgery and operates no imaging suite, infusion suite or interventional pain programme, and provides no paediatric, emergency or inpatient care. Where a page discusses a treatment the practice does not deliver, it says so.
This applies to every clinical page, including the conditions hub, stroke and TIA, epilepsy and seizures, peripheral neuropathy and EMG testing, and memory assessment.
