My mum,s been on dicorate drug for about three years. She has no history of seizures or bipolar disorder. I think it may have been given for migraine headaches, which she consistently had. She is a heavy diabetic patient. She now seems to be deteriorating where her cordination and speech is slurred. Can you help. Thanks
Hello, Her symptoms could be related to small repeated strokes, considering the fact that she suffers from diabetes.  For this reason, I recommend consulting with her neurologist for a physical exam and a brain MRI.  Some blood lab tests may be needed (complete blood count, blood lipid profile) coupled with a Doppler ultrasound of her carotid arteries.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
