blank stares and vomiting sometimes Posted: 12-10-07 16:56pm
My friend's fater has been in and out of
the hospital recently. He's in his 80's
and the doctor's can't seem to find out
what's wrong. One day he will be normal,
knowing everyone and even playing in his
band. Only days later he will look blankly
at his family and not speak, even when
spoken to. He also vomits when this
occurs. The doctors say he didn't have a
storke and that all tests so far have come
back negative. Then a day or two later
he's back to normal. This has happened a
few times. Does anyone know of any other
illness or disease that this could be?
Sorry I do not have further details. I'd
appreciate any help!
Thank you!

Has your friend's father been to a
neurologist? This might be helpful when
seeking a diagnosis.
