Suggest Treatment For Fahr S Syndrome

I have Fahr s Syndrome, side efects are slurred speech, no speech capacity,Fahr s is calcium, and calcium deposits on the brain. Does anything dissolve the calcium deposits in the basal ganglia of the brain?? I was told in Florida to watch the retail market for Coconut Milk. I find that it is avaiable in the Philippines, but am not sure of its use.

Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.

I understand your concern. Fahr's syndrome is calcification in basal ganglia on both sides. It occurs due to many reasons like age related degeneration, genetic disorders, infection, ischemic lesions etc. It is usually asymptomatic and does not need any treatment. In case of symptoms like seizures, anxiety, memory problems, speech difficulty etc, specific symptom should be treated. If you are having symptom like slurred speech, you should consult neurophysician and speech therapist. There is no need to worry about presence of calcification. It can not be reversed by any medicine and there is no need for it. Blood and urine analysis may be needed to find out the cause behind it.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care
