How To Treat Neurological Dysfunction Of Dysarthria?

Hi Dr, My daughter, Valerie is 28yrs old she has post natal depression after delivery her first healthy new born by epidural delivery. Now she progressively shown signs of some neurological dysfunction of dysarthria, generalized spasticity (especially in her lower limbs), dystonia, choreoathetosis as well as gait ataxia but all her extensive work up including biochemistry, genetic test, imaging and neurophysiological test has no confirmatory result. I wish to know can it be due to hormonal changes/imbalance/ epidural injection that alleviated all this symptoms? Her neurologist can t do much other then putting her on tab benzhexol 1mg three time daily. I am very worried, please kindly advise. Thanks Janet Loh Email: YYYY@YYYY

Sorry to hear about medical condition of your daughter.

Also, along with neurological treatment physiotherapy and psychological counselling at regular intervals will be of help.

I will suggest that make some attempts to indulge her in recreational activity like music, watching movies, drama, sports etc.
