Medical Merry -Go round. Now it's a Meningioma
I was just given the news that I have a rather large Meningeoma in my frontal lobe measuring 2.3 cm x 2.4 cm and naturally I am trying to keep my wits about me as I am just now recovering from a PE and just started on NOAC's (Blood thinners) which gave me a non stop headache and a subsequent MRI turned

DBS — What questions to ask the DBS neurosurgeon?
I have an appointment with the DBS neurosurgeon next week for evaluation before the surgery, should I decide. I’ve already had the brain MRI and the Neuropsych evaluation. I’m 70 yrs old, female, 86 lbs, and diagnosed 6 1/2 yrs ago. I’m on C/L only, one tablet, 3 times daily. I’ve tried other meds

Why don't Doctors recognise the chronic after effects of Meningitis?
Hi Everyone. So I'm sat watching the news and they are talking about the effects of 'Long Covid'. Doctors are actually recognising the chronic symptoms patients are experiencing and planning how to improve their care. Covid has been around how long? How about Doctors listening to the Chronic symptoms

Dried blood spot sampling offers an inexpensive way to widen access to antibody testing for COVID-19.
Currently antibody testing for COVID-19 uses serum or plasma, which requires a full intravenous blood sample, collected by a trained phlebotomist. For population-wide or high volume testing, the use of such sampling is limited by logistic challenges, resources, and costs, as well as the risk of SARS-CoV

Study examines the potential of spinal cord stimulation
A new study lays a new way of treating PD out " A new study finds that spinal cord stimulation could represent an alternate therapy for people with Parkinson’s disease that is resistant to conventional treatments.

Spinal Cord Stimulation Alleviates Parkinson’s Pain in Small Study
Spinal cord stimulation can effectively decrease pain, and also may help alleviate motor symptoms, in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), regardless of whether patients have previously undergone deep brain stimulation, a small study suggests. https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/2020/10/02/spinal-cord-stimulation-alleviates-parkinsons-pain-small-study-suggests

I also had it when I was 9 years old due to having the vaccine, this form was viral meningitis but I was still hospitalised. I also lost my

Confused!
Originally one neurologist diagnosed my condition as Mayasthenia Gravis. Later others attributed it to Cerebellar Ataxia having seen MRI, CT etc. Recently discovered an enlarged Thymus which is often associated with Mayasthenia G. Wonder if I have both!! Any information?

Chapter 17. I dream of the revolution that must come... 2/2.
I think we know much more than we believe and dogmas in Science are short-lived (only 80 years, Ramón y Cajal's dogma that the number of neurons is reduced by their
death
, without remedy, inexorably, without the
brain
being able to create new ones: neurogenesis).

Our virtual pub took place today. I believe everybody enjoyed it. Next Sunday, 9/27, 2nd HU virtual gathering @ 5 PM London time.
50+ people gave me their email addresses. 25 people plugged in. We got to introduce ourselves and put a face to the name. Zoom has 4 breakout rooms. In order to allow more substantive conversation, next week, I thought I would send the 1st ten who plug-in to one breakout room and the 2nd 10

DBS doesn't seem to work?
I had DBS surgery 2 month ago and had 2 programming sessions, but still far from feeling any better. I can say, My tremors and distonia on presurgery status, taking much more medication than before and still having bad days (mostly of them). Does it mean failure of DBS? I don't know what to do. I feel

Any studies on longterm effects of live shingles vaccine and PMR
I was wondering if anyone knows of any studies that have been done about those of us that contracted PMR after taking the live shingles vaccine. I wonder if PMR will last as long in our system as the shingles vaccine antibodies are active in our system? The pharmacist says the antibodies last 5+years
