hypochondria- freaking out
hi everyone, I am currently freaking out. Let me tell you why. So I poked myself with this metal thing about 4 days ago.

Viral meningitis
Hi My son who is in his mid 50s was first diagnosed with Viral meningitis 10 years ago. Since that time he has had 8-10 relapses and is currently back in hospital. The best help has been with a virologist in the hospital who suggested infusions (aclovir?) through a lead in his arm-3x a day for 10 days

All done
Marks had his cranioplasty today although it was touch and go as there was no beds. They worked their magic in Preston and he had op at 5 30. He's totally exhausted and a headache! But they say it's all gone well. I'm in the ibis down the road. Tired but relieved it's done. Hoping for a good day

Cranial pressure pain with inflight cabin pressure changes. DBS question
Several days ago I was landing in a Bombadier Q400 aircraft. It is a new state of the art turboprop 88 passenger plane. The flight was perfect but for the last several minutes. The cabin pressure was not well controlled and I felt as if my head would implode. The pain was severe and it lasted for

Brain fog and dizziness every day! Help!
For the last three years, I have had dizziness, brain fog and sinus problems. Initially I thought it was because I had my thyroid removed, and have had problems since this, but it has never gone. Sometimes it isn't as bad as others, but it never truly leaves. ENT has said my sinuses are clear, and said

Rytary for DBS
I had Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery in Feb 2015. Very successful since my main symptom was tremor which was totally controlled by Dopamine (generic carbodopa/levadopa). That is the situation the DBS surgery is designed for. I decided to try Rytary and haven't found the right dosage yet.

NEUPRO PATCH+ ROPINIROLE AND FALLING DOWN MORE
My husband just switched neurologists after 18 years. Was feeling that previous doc was really not paying attention to needs and concerns. We were very happy with the new doc and he made lots of changes in meds. My husband is now taken 8mg of ropinirole , 8 mg of carb/levo 25/100 and wearing a 2 mg Neupro

Deep brain stimulation surgery
my doctor said that I would be a good candidate for Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. I am very hesitant to do this. Hoping I could hear from some of yo who has actually had the procedure. Or maybe some one you know very close to you that has had it. Hope you can help me. Deanna ( kachimom@comline.com

Upon meeting the doctor I explained I have Mollaretts meningitis and he said ( what is that). I explained it is reoccurring meningitis
