Something interesting
My husband had his AN successfully removed about 8 years ago translab. At the time they found the AN, they also found a meningioma in a different location. It was small so he was on Watch and Wait. So for the next 6 years at his yearly MRI which was done at a medical center that was close to our home

I haven’t posted in a while, but wanted everyone to know I had my DBS surgery .
It was a lot all at once but so far with the programming everything is going well. Definitely taking less meds.

Brain tumour or csf leak or IIH
I’ve posted quite a bit but I’ve still got real bad anxiety over my current situation. After 3 months of head pressure constantly on top of my head I had a CT scan which showed an empty sella and a sphenoid sinus issue. I’m seeing an endocrinologist a neurosurgeon and an ENT and all 3 say it could be

What if DBS played the same?
“Using computer simulations, Tass and his team discovered that a patterned stimulus that vibrates at a frequency of 100 to 300 hertz (cycles per second) can desynchronize neuron-firing.” I think **desynchronized** may be a poor choice of a word – (Calming the) neuron-firing might be better. Now what

Does dizziness eventually disappear for good
I had a totally unexpected benign brain tumour removed in its entirety in December 2020 and have recently been scanned by an MRI machine and all is well. My condition was called a haemongliblastoma in the cerebellum of my brain. I have been fit and healthy all my life.

MY DOCTOR SAYS I AM DUE FOR DBS. THIS REALLY SCARED THE SH.......... OUT OF ME. PLEASE HELP! I NEED YOUR ADVICE.
I am a young onset non tremor dominant PWP,in my fifties, on Rytary and I have reached the stage where my medication does not work well like before anymore, a stage where it has become very unpredictable, whether I will get "off" period or dyskinesia, unless I increase my medication dosage. However

DBS - what if, stimulation was a symphony
DBS - What if they played a symphony (Say HFS of 140 Hz and LFS of 70 Hz at the same time), A tone Generator playing at 140 Hz and a second playing at 70 doesn't sound bad, And, for fun a 3rd at 35 (turn volume of 35 Hz down to 18%). But, I am not sure I would want in my head 24/7 !!!!! Back when I was

Tapering while suffering with shingles?
Was recently hospitalized for asthma in October and put on mega doses of steroids. When I came down to 12 1/2 I parked. I started to reduce a half a milligram and now at 12. Just came down with the most wicked form of shingles. I went to the hospital in an ambulance! It was so painful I couldn’t even

DBS and weight gain
For those who have had DBS, did you gain weight after the surgery? I have read it is possible to gain weight as the “ reward or impulsive part” of our brain is affected.

Cranioplasty surgery
Good afternoon, I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine as much as possible. It really has helped my mood. I went to have my out patient appointment Friday, I think I miss understood the reason for the appointment. From what I gather it was to make sure that I was happy to go on the waiting list
