Post DBS Surgery
I am now nine weeks out from surgery. Last week I used my regulator to increase the voltage being sent to my brain. I was rewarded by feeling more energy and also being able to reduce my Sinemet 25/100 by one. Last week I walked to my mailbox and upon removing the mail, decided to walk a bit around

My nose is discharging especially when I'm no my feet they did say it should clear up in few days. Just really tired and bit heady. Just going to rest

Going for sinus op on Wednesday
This Wednesday I'm going in for my sinus operations, it's a FESS (draining of the mucus) a septoplasty (straightening my septum) which is apparently very misshaped inside and a CIT (burning out inflammation). For 2 weeks I'll be terribly blocked but then I should start to feel better after that, I've

Post DBS Surgery
Good morning all! I am now 7 weeks since my DBS surgery. Yes! That is the answer if anyone asks if I am happy with my decision to have the surgery. I am now walking briskly each day, active with my bookkeeping clients, and have rejoined society as an active participant. I am also "in training"

New study suggests DBS should be used earlier.
DBS proved very effective in patients with average of 7.5 years since diagnosis. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1205158?query=featured_home

My understanding there are two that have been around for awhile Medtronic Activa and St Jude medicals infinity and a new one recently approved Boston Scientific’s Vercise. The hospital that I’m going

Aftermath of meningitis in children
Hello, I am new to this post and am beyond concerned for my 6 year old son. He had bacterial meningitis when he was 3 months old. (Though they couldn't confirm a positive test result as they had already started the meds before they got the culture back, if that makes sense. ) Anyway, he showed all the

DBS Surgery
It has been one month since my DBS surgery - time for an update. I am now "in charge" of my regulator. This means that my neuro showed me how to change the amount of voltage is sent to each side of my brain. This allows me to increase or decrease depending on my symptoms. I was encouraged to substitute

My upcoming surgery
I'm scheduled for head surgery February 6, 2018. I have a neurosurgeon & a maxillofacial surgeon working on me. The neurosurgeon recommended the other surgeon- seems like he's helping a younger surgeon get grounded. Tried to sell me on him, saying he could touch me up. The newer guy says he doesn't want

Please can anyone advise.....
I'm guilty of not being on the site for some time, as I have not been great really, so apologies for not being around. I'm concerned today because even though the endocrinologist I last saw wanted me on Naturthroid, today I had a medication review with some pharmacy practitioner or similar. He knew nothing

Bad joint pain that started after my viral meningitis
