SPECIFIC ITEMS: There are numerous diseases of the brain, but I am not certain that you possess any of them, and may in fact need help in the psychiatric realm. Granted you could have a migraine issue or even temporal lobe epilepsy, but suggest you get a thorough evaluation by your primary doc first and exclude thyroid problems, anemias, and nutritional deficiencies. Also, best to fully avoid recreational drugs.
