Shingles twice followed by viral meningitis
Hi I had shingles twice which my GP treated really quickly so feel I got off lightly. I then got VM. I have suffered with neuropathic pain ever since along with some really odd sensations too. The symptoms have improved but not gone altogether, it has taken over 6 years. I have now been diagnosed with

Niagen alleviates Parkinson’s disease symptoms but downregulates dopamine metabolism?
I understand that the B3 study used Niacin, but I was researching NR and found this report from March showing eventually NR lowers dopamine (based on worms and mice). Now I'm wondering if this might apply to Niacin also? (I still take 250 mg of Niacin at night and 50 mg more in the afternoon. "We

Antibiotics
I had a tetanus jab and a course of antibiotics, 500mg 3 times a day. Which finished 17th September. I'm still experiencing wrist and hand pain, feeling fatigued also having muscular aches and pains in feet, knees and ankles. I have ordered a medichecks blood test and wonder should there be a gap

Biotin's Affect on PSA Results
Can someone tell me the impact of Biotin on PSA? (My last PSA results include a comment that Biotin could lower my PSA. Did not say how much.)

Taking a Covid antibody test. Stopping supplements
I currently take many supplements including Vit b complex and quercetin. I’m aware that for a thyroid test you have to stop taking biotin one week prior to test so I assume the same thing applies to a Covid antibody test? TIA

How was your experience of being diagnosed with a brain tumour?
'When I first experienced symptoms of my own I had many types of tests, scans and treatments but my tumour was able to stay hidden. In the seven years that followed however its side effects gradually increased and they became much more visible and more serious as well - not knowing what this condition

Shingles after the Pfizer vaccine?
Has anyone developed shingles after getting the Covid 19 vaccine? I had the Pfizer shot in March and I came down with shingles in September. I started researching and there are some studies showing that shingles could be a side effect. Just curious if anyone else has had shingles in the last 6 months

Paper showing which thyroid hormone assays are sensitive to biotin
This new paper is behind a paywall, but the abstract says all that is needed. It identifies those test manufacturers whose methods use biotin which disturbs thyroid function tests amongst others. This gives TUK posters/admin some ammunition to challenge incorrectand misleading results a) by not taking

Focused ultrasound
I hear so much about PD patients receiving DBS, but I never hear about them opting for focussed ultrasound instead. According to this website, focused ultrasound will cure the motor symptoms of PD, but it would only be used on people with motor symptoms in one side of their body: https://www.fusfoundation.org

DBS
Hello PWP! I thought I’d let you know and share my journey with my husband who had the DBS surgery 6 weeks ago. 2 days ago the battery was turned on and will be adjusted weekly in the next 3 weeks until the right intensity is reached. I was personally hesitant for him to do this surgery as it sounded
