Hello,

My friend had a brain tumour removed at age 13. I don't know exact info on what type of tumour (which I can find out but hes busy as I write this) and as hes gotten older he has gotten worsening symptoms of weakness in the left side of his body (arm and leg) which involves some pain and tingling.

Hes been checked out and told its just side effects from the removal of the tumour. He also has 3 types of epilepsy, again without asking I don't know the exact name but one is seizures and one is temporary loss of cognitive ability.

He says diazepam helps with the tingling and pain. Is there anything else that might help?

If more info is needed which there probably will be I will speak to him and get it.

Thanks in advance.
