I'm posting in a slightly stressed state but what I think I'm asking is, do I need to tell my brother my suspicions and get him to a doctor? I've even misspelled so he doesn't find this if he's googling :(
My brother had a one-off episode 16 years ago where he awoke to find greatly reduced sensation in both feet. A scan confirmed that there was a "sclerosis" somewhere in the brain. I attended a neurologist appointment with him where the neuro said he should put the episode behind him and he's more or less managed to do this.
He rang today to say that he awoke to disturbed vision - I think he said it was as if everything was moving to the left all the time. It took some minutes (he may have said half an hour) to clear up.
If this may signal a return of his neurological condition or a even a new one AND there is medicine that can control it then I'm going to tell him straight away. Ditto if this raises questions about him driving. But if not I'm going to keep quiet.
I'll try to phone the relevant charity but in the meantime I'd be grateful for any thoughts from those with experience of the condition (but try not to frighten me as he may find this in due course).
thank you.
