Medication and DBS
Hi all. My husband diagnosed with PD two years ago (almost). He refused to take any medication. It seems PD had some progress. I have a feeling he is now thinking about treatment or medication. He asked me how long usually takes to be on medication before going for DBS. (He is 44years old) Do you

Viral meningitis last month
Last month, July 2020, I was diagnosed with viral meningitis after being misdiagnosed with covid (by two different md). So it went on for about 11 days before being diagnosed at the tail end of it. Now, a month later I am still having grogginess and eye spots, major fatigue. Several other lingering symptoms

Step by Step
I’d like to think the past few day’s have been good. I’ve been going out doing things. I still get weird feelings that freak me out and make me feel like I have a brain tumor or aneurysm.. I just breathe and remind myself that I’ve felt it before. Thoughts are scary- the “what if’s.” I just pray that

Sensitivite intestine causing extreme 'off-time' esp after opening bowels
Hello I'm in my ninth year (diagnosed age 37) of living with YOPD. About 16 months ago I suddenly was hit with a new symptom... The mere ingestion of food or even medication tablets would often set of an intense off-time period. Last year I had two separate one week stays in hospital trying to resolve

Adult Social Services - the elderly - can anyone offer some insight?
I spoke to her GP who said if she has dementia then not much can be done, it's just a
death
sentence etc. He did arrange a
brain
scan for her which she said was fine which I cannot believe. She has obvious cognitive problems on her left side - messages not coming form the brain?

New pinprick blood test for Covid-19 antibodies.
A convenient, low-cost blood test for Covid-19 has been developed by scientists in Wales. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples have been used since the 1960s to test newborn babies for inherited disorders. The antibody test puts a single drop of blood from a skin prick onto specialized filter paper cards
