Deep Brain Stimlation (DBS)
I recently (June2nd) had the DBS op at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. Having had PD for 17 years I would say the op has been a success. It is early days yet, but I hope to be back playing golf & tennis in the not too distant future. I can now manage an hour's workout at the gym 2-3 times per

Has anyone had the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) op? I have just had the op and am keen to share experiences. I have had PD for 17 years.
I would also be keen to know if anyone with PD goes to a gym. I go 2-3 times per week and again would be keen to share experiences. Thanks. Tony

Measuring Tourette's

Could this be symptoms of Viral Meningitis?
Friday August 5th I suddenly became sick: Vomiting,diarrhea, etc. Figured it was just a little bug so I went to bed. Woke up Saturday, August 6th feeling better. Monday, August 8th, found a rash on my chest that seemed to have appeared over night. Very itchy and burning. Over the week from August 8th-August

The Dreaded Manflu
I’ve escaped! Well, for a short while, whilst we enjoy a lovely Christmas dinner with the in-laws. Yesterday was my 37th birthday which the walking manflu didn’t realise until 3.15, no card, no present, (no Christmas present either) this has been an on-going problem since 2003 not just a manflu hic-up

So what do doctors know.....
about viral meningitis. Well as it happens in my experience not a great deal. I contracted it in July 2002 (July 13th as it happens, sort of stuck in my brain if you see what I mean) and was seriously ill in hospital with the sort of stats that make nurses take a sharp intake of breath. My eldest daughter
