DBS number of surgeries vary so much from 1 to 3. Main reason surgeons say safer less complications. Is there any proof?
my DBS surgery was completed in one hospital stay. The majority of others was 2-3 hospital stays. Is there research to support that there are less complications?

t3 Pros and cons
hi everyone, I am having real trouble with and without taking t3. If I don’t add t3 into my 100mcg tirsont and 9.5mcg compounded t3 I feel dreadful with extreme fatigue, body aches and hair loss. But with taking t3 I get really bad racing heart rate (resting 110). I do have Pots so this is already

dbs and massage chairs
THis might sound trival but I cannot find a good full massage chair which is pacemaker /DBS friendly. They all exclude people with these devices. Same goes for vibration plates. I get it, they both emit electromagnetic fields. So does my microwave and phone. Any suggestions for Massage chairs (Europe

Shingles vaccine
My husband has been called in for a shingles vaccination. Am i correct that he should ask for a non live vaccine as the love vaccine poses a risk to me as I am immune suppressed? I seem to remember hearing this somewhere. Still struggling to get answer fro my nurse advice line. Thanks

Deep Brain Stimulation
Does anyone have recent personal experience of DBS for tremors? How successful was it as a treatment? Anecdotal information I can probably research for myself. Thank you. I have Cerabellar Ataxia.

Supplements for hair loss
There is an article summarizing an overview of research on supplements for hair loss. Kind of inconclusive, and there are concerns about safety, but it does describe the different mechanisms. Biotin, for example, does not increase growth or stop loss, but it does strenghthen the hair that does grow.

Shall I stop B12 now?
I am finally feeling much better than I have in a long time, so thanks everyone for your posts and advice that i have been reading for a long time now. I've started Iron (ferrous sulphate) since 11 October, prescription was for 3/4 months so i assume it takes a long time to build up? Also added a lot

will using shampoo with biotin in it impact my blood tests?
just realised I am using a “biotin and collagen” shampoo. Used it Monday, have full thyroid blood tests due on Thursday. Will this impact results?

Timing of meds and supplements?
I wonder if anyone is able to share their optimal timing schedule- I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day for all the different tablets with their exclusion zones! Not to mention fitting coffee into the day! This is what I currently take:
On waking:
ferograd C iron (every other day

Mega high Selenium. 367ug/L (67-135). Taking 200mcg daily. Does anyone taking this dose know what their selenium levels are?
Started 200mcg selenium 1/8/22 to try to get rid of puffiness under my eyes, light sensitivity, etc. I know that even the NHS consider this safe as the NHS site says that 350mcg of selenium supplements are unlikely to cause any harm. The TED charity recommend 200mcg selenium for 6mths, dropping back

DBS and cognition
Does having a diagnosis of "major neurocognitive disorder"-- a DSM diagnosis, usually disqualify someone for DBS? Is it dependent on other factors?

Should I take my Thyroid meds before or after a Synacthen Test?
Hi all I have a 9am SST on Tuesday and I am wondering if I take my Thyroid meds before or after? Also, I’ve been taking all my other supplements and my B12 has biotin in it, is that okay? Thanks
