Shingles/Herpes Zoster
Hi, I would like to hear from any-one who has had Shingles/Herpes Zoster virus please. Mine appeared at the end of my spine. I had not been offered the vaccine routinely and wonder whether I should still ask to have it. Best Wishes Mini Mouse

Considering DBS. If you have had it, your input is greatly appreciated
My neurologist broached the subject of DBS surgery for the first time last visit. My wearing off periods are getting longer and I do get some pretty bad tremors during those times. I have a few friends who have had the surgery. One has had problems with infection and they have replaced his wires a couple

Has DBS changed your anxiety/depression either way?
If so do you know if the placements were in the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus?

progress for meningitis sufferers but more progress i feel that is needed
recently it was announced that there has been some evidance that meningitis does cause behaviour problem due to the swellling in the meningines. The meningitis Trust are appealing to schools to carry out assesments to provide support for children who have suffered with meningitis which I believe is

Does anyone have steppage gait?
I just returned from 3 days at Barrows Neuro, Mohamed Ali Research center in Phoenix. I was reviewed for DBS. I surprised the Doc during the on-off testing showing very little rigidity, tremor and no freezing. When asked what my walking issue was I demonstrated foot drop and high knee for swing phase

How does one find the best DBS programmers?
Programmers hold the key to successful DBS, yet so little known about who they are and where to find them. Does anyone have advice about a directory or "Angie's List" that includes DBS programmers? How about when one is traveling-- where are they?

Post DBS - physical symptoms of Anxiety. Anyone? Anyone?
DBS done in Feb 2012 - had numbness in toes soon after it was turned on. Have had the DBS steadily for 3 months now. Prescribing meds for anxiety? I never had these physical manifestations of anxiety before. Could lead/contact be the cause? Docs say no. I certainly don't feel depressed - I'm on disabiity

I qualify for the DBS surgery (which scares me to death) & wonder if the Neupro patch could delay the surgery. Am on 4mg. so far.

Interesting Rheumy Appointment
Hi there, I had my second Rheumy appointment today. It would be an exaggeration to say I prepared for it like a job interview - I stopped short of a powerpoint presentation - but it felt a little bit like that: much at stake and they don't come around very often. I did go over and over the key things
