Shingles vaccine
My husband has been called in for a shingles vaccination. Am i correct that he should ask for a non live vaccine as the love vaccine poses a risk to me as I am immune suppressed? I seem to remember hearing this somewhere. Still struggling to get answer fro my nurse advice line. Thanks

Deep Brain Stimulation
Does anyone have recent personal experience of DBS for tremors? How successful was it as a treatment? Anecdotal information I can probably research for myself. Thank you. I have Cerabellar Ataxia.

DBS and cognition
Does having a diagnosis of "major neurocognitive disorder"-- a DSM diagnosis, usually disqualify someone for DBS? Is it dependent on other factors?

DBS and Sinemet
I had the DBS surgery last October. After DBS, Sinemet made my PD symptoms worse...especially balance (It's like I am constantly falling forward and my legs are trying to keep up). I told my neurologist about it and she thought is odd that Sinemet would do that. I feel better without the Sinemet.

DBS surgery to help with “ frozen feet “
I was first diagnosed with PD in 2005, over the years my symptoms were for the most part mild and controlled with meds. However several months ago I developed “ frozen feet “ it has altered my quality of life substantially. I have switched exercise workouts to a stationary bicycle, PT therapy 3 times

non live shingles vaccine
I will be having my shingles vaccine soon (70 in May) - should I ask for non live vaccine - Shingrax? I take 6 mg of prednisolone a day - GP says live vaccine ok if on less than 7.5 mg but check with nurse - should I go private if GP won’t let offer non live vaccine?

Hello! I am new here. Could anyone help me please? I need to find out how much is the approximate cost of the surgery called deep brain stimulation in the state of New York. I would like to opt for that surgery if I qualify as suitable. I hope it's not too expensive. Thank you very much in advance. I

Making plans to go forward?
Hi folks, this is my first post. I'm a year into my brain injury caused by encephalitis. This is the second injury, the first was 5 years ago and I recovered fairly quickly and fully. This second was a surprise to everyone, but apparently I probably have a rare disease that makes recurrent encephalitis

A LOW BUDGET DIY VIBROTACTILE STIMULATOR FOR EXPERIMENTAL CRS
Modern techniques of Coordinated Reset Stimulation (CRS), which is usually administered with invasive deep brain stimulation, can have a miraculous effect on those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. However, the CRS technique can also apparently be administered via so-called vibrotactile CRS (vCRS)
