Hydrocephalus post Cranioplasty
Hi, my daughter had a brain injury last year. She had a craniectomy and had a cranioplasty in October. For the last month or so, she has woken with a severe headache several times. Twice in the last week. Plus in the last month she’s started with balance problems. She looses her balance when walking

Links to some articles comparing FUS to DBS for Essential Tremors
For the time being, there's more research and development in the ET field than the PD field as it relates to tremor dominant Parkinson's. Here's a few links that compares the two. https://www.neurologyreviews-digital.com/neurologyreviews/nr_march_2019_/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1470923

DBS - yes or no?
How to decide on a DBS placement I'm gonna take the plunge. I just cant do the meds anymore, they don't work like they used to and I'm beyond miserable. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Anxious
Feeling a bit nervous today, I’ve an appointment for a MRI scan , I’ve got a meningioma ( a benign tumour on the lining of the brain near the pituitary ) I’ve had it since childhood and it’s caused a few problems. I had a scan last year and it’s grown so they want to do another to see if it’s grown anymore

Any DBS prep advice?
Hi! My dad is rigidity dominant. He experiences freezing when his meds are wearing off. He didn't qualify for FUS at Sonimodul, but my dad finally has his 2nd meeting with a surgeon, Dr. Munhoz, at Toronto Western Hospital here in Toronto. We have watched Dr. Mischely's PD School on DBS, and have come

Back again with another question about spouse's DBS results
Hey folks, was on here back in Nov. - Dec. concerning my husband's DBS results. I am happy to report after much trial and error, he no longer has any noticeable Tremors!!! However, I do think it has affected his Personality, he just doesn't seem the same. I cannot say it is entirely due to the DBS,
