PD-related acronyms

Deep Brain Stimulation
Study from China on Parkinson's patients with RLS showed Deep Brain Stimulation reduced RLS & helped sleep.I certainly wouldn't consider it. Seems too extreme but if the Parkinson's patients are having the treatment to help tremor, it would be sensible to see if stimulation in another area relieves RLS

Driving Licence Application
In Jan 2022 I reapplied for my driving licence having had it revoked due to a brain tumour diagnosis in Dec 2020. I had successful surgery to remove the tumour in Mar 2021 and underwent voluntary radio and chemo therapies, with the latter finishing in Jun this year. My tumour (low grade) caused seizures

Continuous Electrical Neuromodulation of the Globus Pallidus Intern in Parkinson's Disease by the Directional Electrode
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05626608 The hypothesis is that the efficacy of DBS in directional mode will be more effective on the motor signs of Parkinson's disease compared to omnidirectional stimulation and bipolar mode, with a better tolerance profile (fewer side effects).

Mything the point: Some Thoughts on Living Well with PD
This sort of thing is a tough sell in the sense that people running the show at PD websites are worried that submissions that aren't predictably positive or upbeat in tone might upset regular readers. In some cases, fundraising' may come into play. As noted in the piece, I'm not trying to stir up a

Shingles vaccine
Has anyone here has the shingles vaccine? I know that the usual one is a live vaccine but the nurse at the surgery told me that there is a two-dose non-live one I could have if it didn’t compromise my condition. I do have a haematology phone appointment coming up but not for a few weeks yet so I wondered

Panic (in the streets of Birmingham)
Couldn’t resist this allusion to a song by the Smiths and I do live in Birmingham (not Alabama!). I was surprised when asking for a search to be done on our site how few posts there were with Panic in the title. I’m panicking quite a lot recently due to obvious progression of the disease.

Shingles vaccine to have or not to have
My rheumie has recommended that I have the shingles jab. and informed the vaccination centre. A lady from there phoned me regarding this and I said I would prefer the non-live vaccine as opposed to the live one. She said that I could not choose as the nurse would decide after seeing me.

Lumbar injection after shingles CLL
Hi everyone, I had shingles six months ago, leaving me with nerve problems in my left leg. I have received an appointment for a lumbar puncture which has left me a bit worried, is this because they think something is going on with the CLL in my spine? I can't ask the specialist as I have no follow-up
