DBS for Mom who is 85
My Mom was initially not ready for DBS. Now she would like to go that direction. I contacted her Neuro and they said she is not a candidate for DBS and mentioned her age of 85. Now what? Do I push for another opinion from another Neuro? Or is there typically a cutoff for this type of surgery

Tapering again.
Hello to all you lovely people who have helped me over the last week. Things have now progressed further and this morning I noticed a rash where the pain had been. A visit to the doctor confirmed my suspicion of shingles. So I think I did have a PMR flare but I now also have shingles. Life is such fun

ITP and shingles
If you've had ITP, can you take acyclovir? As having been given these for shingles, but knowing that they lower your immune system,? Cheers

Anxiety
So my main anxiety is tumors and aneurysm’s. I’m 19, no family history of either. But I still worry about it on a constant. I vape, and it’s been making me feel like complete crap lately, headaches and what not. But I just want to know the likeliness of an aneurysm at 19. I just constantly worry about

Shingles jab and PMR
A lady I know believes her PMR was caused by the shingles jab she was recently offered at the age of 70. I’d never heard this before and I wondered if it’s a widely shared view and if so is there any evidence to back it up?

Baffled
I have been feeling deaf in my left ear for years,to me it didn’t feel like true deafness as sometimes when I turned my head it totally cleared until I moved my head again.I also felt my head was full of cotton wool.I asked different GPs for years & they just looked in my ears & said they could see nothing.Eventually

Referred for MRI - Suspected benign tumour
Hi all Thanks everyone for sharing as much as you have on this forum. I have been reading through and everyone’s questions and responses are a great help in an unsure time for me. I have tinnitus and hearing loss in both ears but the ENT consultant advised there was a notable difference of 15 decibels

Normal MRI, EEG -don’t feel normal Vm from shingles
Hi Things keep coming back ‘normal’ but I still get tired and have jerks and a little bit of “ataxia” when tired. I don’t think this is a “functional” or conversion disorder, since this only happened after meningitis but I keep wondering what’s wrong with me? Is it just meningitis recovery?

Ongoing headaches three years after surgery
Hello, this is my first time on here but at the moment I’m open to any ideas. I had benign brain tumour removed three years ago. I am very lucky it wasn’t more serious than this. I pushed to return to ‘normal’, going back to work etc. I’ve tried numerous pain meds but the “thinking” required is causing
