10 Days Ago it was DBS
Always stated to my neurologists and physical therapist for over three years now to please tell me things straight up, so they did. A few weeks ago i had my 6 month check-up, doc said "Mark you might want to consider looking into DBS, because at 1250mg of c/l per day your pushing the max level for what

Here I go again
I had a CT scan of my brain done Monday. The dr ordered it without contrast. It came back clear. I have the written report and they compared it to one I had in August 2012. Now, after googling, I am reading that CT scans can't see brain tumors unless you have contrast. How is this possible if a tumor

Opicapone
My husband was given Opicapone about 18 months ago but stopped taking it for some reason. He started taking it again just over a month ago. He found immediate improvement with it eg. not having to go to the toilet so often during the night but he is finding it difficult to get the correct dose. It does

Does DBS control non motor problems, like sleep?
I’ve been diagnosed six years now (I’m 76). Three years in, my neurologist suggested DBS so I spoke to a neurosurgeon who has done many of these procedures. He said DBS works on “motor symptoms only.” Since medicine works for me, I did not go ahead. Recently I spoke to a friend in biotech who

Did not expect this..
Saw my neuro today... I'v been taking c/l and requip. Doc said with the amount of c/l I'm currently on 250mg 6 times a day and only getting 60-90 min of relief and my age (57) I would be the perfect candidate for DBS surgery which might grant me 10-15 years of a better quality of life. I asked if he

Scared/ Urgent referral
Just got a call from the clinic today, I was just there with my optometrist yesterday. She said he made an urgent referral for me to see a retina specialist, she called me quite early. I think it has to do with my eye pressure and I am so scared for this brain tumor assumption coming to life. He made

Worrying I have a brain tumour again
Hi everyone, I’m starting to worry I have a brain tumour again, after a very bad migraine incident, I’ve had constant headaches everyday that just don’t go away no matter what. It’s different types of headaches, some like tension and others like migraine and even experiencing ice pick headaches now.

Thyroid and Adrenals
Hi, I have low morning cortisol and just don’t have the energy to make it through the day. I take NDT and top up with t3 but my t4 levels are always low and out of range. I think when I try to raise my NDT it potentially back fires due to low cortisol? I have had 3 SST tests done and I pass every time

Shingles
I have been diagnosed with shingles. I noticed a rash on Thursday, however because it wasn’t hurting at all I didn’t think much of it which was very silly of me! I went to the doctor on yesterday as it was spreading and i was told it was shingles. I’m surprised that after now 6 days the rash is there

Shingles injection
I've finally made it down to 1/2mg every other day. My Doctor wants me to have the shingles injection. Does anyone know if this can cause an issue?? I've been reducing the pred for 2 1/2 yrs, very very slowly and haven't had a flare and don't want one at this stage. Appreciate any thoughts. many

Terrified again of brain tumor!
So I've been having some eye issues. My vision is very blurry and also hazy. I do stay on my phone literally all day long. My eyes are dry and they burn slightly. I googled of course and read that this could be a brain tumor. I've also been having headaches but they seem to have subsided. Has anyone

This has got to be a brain tumor!
My symptoms are headaches ( not severe) they come and go. Body jerks while resting, but the most frightening is my vision looks milky or cloudy. It's also blurred. In both eyes. I do mess around on my phone for 16-19 hours a day...everyday. My room is very dim. I have googled (of course) and all I see
