Left Leg Pain
I am a 71 year old female, diagnosed with Pd for 20 years. Three years ago, I had very successful bilateral DBS surgery. For several years I have had left leg pain. I have had several cortisone injections in L4 and L5 also in my hamstring bursa. None have improved the pain. Does anyone have any thoughts

Hello all, Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there's an actual definitive test for Lyme disease? Thank you.

Ritalin for gait freezing?
I've had PD for 18 years (I'm 52 now). Had DBS surgery 4 1/2 years ago. The physical symptom that still gives me the most trouble -- not helped by either the meds or the surgery -- is gait freezing, and subsequent falling. My MD just prescribed a low dosage of Ritalin for this, and I haven't filled

Request for shared experience - brain abscess
I am recovering from a brain abscess and wonder if anyone would share what the recovery process was like for them if possible. I am tremendously tired and often have head pain and wonder if this is normal.

Musical abilities post DBS
I am curious if anyone has noticed a change in their musical skills. I have recently underwent DBS and it seams that my percussion skills have improved. I have played drums most of my life but only as an a amateur. Currently I don't have a drum kit but my son does so I'm planning to challenge myself

Deep brain stimulation for pain?
Hi, I was just wondering if any One has had, or been referred for DBS surgery for chronic pain? My neurologist has just referred me, but due to the cost of it he said it might be a fight with my GPs, and commissioner to have it done. I'm scared, as I have no one to talk to about it, and I can't find

I am obviously very lucky to be

DBS - STN or GPi?
I have been told by my neuro-team that STN DBS would be risky due to some bouts of depression I had last year and also the compulsive behavioural episodes I suffered while on Pramipexole. They have recommended GPi DBS - has anyone on here undergone this procedure and, if so, was it successful? Many
