My experience with DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) Surgery
First, a little about me. I am 47 years old and was diagnosed early onset PD at 35 or so. I grew up on a farm in a small town in central FL. I played sports my whole life. Baseball, Wrestling, Softball, and even a little football. I married my high school sweetheart, have a great job, and two sons

Tumor stress
I can’t get out of my head that I have a tumor. I have body twitches constantly. In my face, arms, legs. Just discovered that if I press on a certain part of my lip, it’ll hurt my head past my temple, like nerve damage? I haven’t had any issues. I get headaches like I’ve had them the last 5 years. But

So I finished the book...
I didn't know what to expect, maybe a primer on running and PD. Lots of aphorisms similar to Just Do It and Git 'er Done. Learned that standing is more difficult than running because it uses more dopamine. And Steve Evans was the first marathon finisher to have had DBS treatment. He finished

Hi, has anyone had orbital decompression surgery
Hi everyone, I had orbital decompression 2 years ago and I still have numbness on both sides of my face, my eyes still wobble as I eat and they've become increasingly sensitive to light and I often feel as though I have something stuck in my eye (like a hair) but the reality is, there is nothing there

My
brain
is racing non stop about fear of
death
and hurting the people I love. I have a sense of hopelessness, I know it is an irrational fear but no matter what I do I cant stop thinking about it... I am currently taking Paxil which doesn’t seem to be helping anymore.

Fighting as much as I can
For the past couple of days, I have been determined to flip the script. Instead of assuming the absolute worst about any weird things in my body, I choose to think the absolute best. It has been going well honestly. But tonight I got/have this awful headache. Which because I have a fear that I have

Anxiety. I'm taking this win.
For the past five days, I've had this fear that I have a brain tumor, due to bad headaches after I had a cold and neck pains. Today, depsite being much better, the headaches seemed to have moved to the front of my head and I feel a little weak and nauseous. I don't if I do or do not have a brain tumor

Ticks/Lyme disease and hypothyroidism
I have just removed two ticks, two others broke off and the mouth part remains stuck in me. I have seen things on here before about ticks in relation to thyroid, but have never read them because I’ve never had one attached before. I presume I need to see a nurse to get the remains removed? Will it be

Anxiety Spiraling Out of Control
Shakiness. Nausea. Trouble breathing from the noment I open my eyes to the moment I go to sleep. It feels like I’m drowning, despite my oxygen saturation reading 100% on my oximeter. I wake up and the feeling is immediately there with me. Lungs feeling tight, chest heavy and sore, throat closing sensation

This probably sounds narcisistic as hell. But 2020 was going to be my year. I had soo much plans of how I was gonna blossom and relaunch myself and then boom. Corona.

Iron and dopamine: a toxic couple
As a potent pro-oxidant, redox-active iron may be a key player in upstream mechanisms that precipitate cell

Is there a limit on Dopaboost intake?
My dad is on a surgery waitlist for DBS here in Canada (probably next year) and we could potentially do FUS in Switzerland... But in the meantime, we have been trying to figure out the best dopamine sources to help him on the daily. Mucuna is much more effective than his Sinemet, which barely works anymore

Sand volleyball after DBS
Does anyone play sand volleyball after having DBS? My programming nurse said I should be fine to play...I had DBS in October/November 2019. I guess I'm concerned about getting hit in the battery.

Immune System Discovery Could End Chronic Organ Rejection.
Chronic rejection of transplanted organs is the leading cause of transplant failure, and one that the field of organ transplantation has not overcome in almost six decades since the advent of immunosuppressive drugs enabled the field to flourish. Now, a new discovery led by researchers at the University
