Gastric Issues after Meningitis?
I am 8 months post meningitis. I am still struggling with after effects. Trembling, brain fog and numb spots. My question....Anyone have gastric issues? Diarrhea? Mine has been bad last week or so. Appetite has never been totally back to normal. I never can tell if new symptoms are meningitis related

PMR? or not PMR? - that is the question.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of alternative conditions that might be / have been misdiagnosed as PMR?. e.g there appears to be some evidence that Lyme disease may present the identical clinical picture as PMR.

A small study has recently suggested that Deep Brain Stimulation eases Parkinson’s symptoms by directly raising dopamine levels
“Even if dopamine-producing cells are not activated directly, electrically stimulating other parts of the brain, particularly those that receive information from dopamine-producing cells, can indirectly increase dopamine production ...” https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/2019/08/23/deep-brain-stimulation-directly-raises-dopamine-levels-study-suggests

How I reduced my Parkinson’s meds by 50% and beat my addiction to dopamine
Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Within a year I was taking the standard medication associated with the disease, dopamine in its various forms (levodopa/carbadopa, aka. Sinemet). Like most sufferers of PD, my need for Sinemet, grew and grew until I was taking 200 mg every

3 Months post viral meningitis
I’ve been a member for a few months now, trying to get advice from others or just to read everyone else’s stories. Here’s mine... The end of May I noticed I had swollen glands in the back of my neck and a bad headache. Took some ibuprofen and forgot about it. A few days later I was having neck pain along

Abject fatigue
I am curious if anyone has a cheery solution for abject fatigue. I’m finding it to be a potential terminal issue. I don’t see a way out. The more I try to exercise the worse it gets. I’m currently on Rytary, klonazapam-dose hasn’t changed in 4 years- and levothyroxine. About a year ago started

I’m new here
Hello, I was diagnosed in 2011, at age 39. I was able to manage my symptoms quite well until about 18 months ago using only an agonist. I started on Sinemet at the beginning of last year, but within 6 months had increased from 3 tablets a day to 9 and started experiencing wear-off in about 2 hours.

Shingles Vaccine
My Rheumatologist has recommended that I get a shingles vaccination before starting biologics. Anyone else under 50 and received vaccine? Any adverse events? I’ve read mixed reviews since no studies have been conducted on safety of vaccine in patients with autoimmune disease. I am getting it tomorrow

Viral Meningitis 72 year old father
My dad fell unresponsive over 2 weeks ago. Once in the hospital they determined he had viral meningitis. Lots of antibiotics and 2 weeks later he is extremely weak, won’t eat, and he is confused and agitated. He struggles to know who we are (my mom, brother, grandkids, etc) and has little to no

Muscle retention in PD
I have been riding a relatively good streak since DBS 6 years ago. Recently my right side muscles, bicep and my leg have become severely compromised. My bicep looks like I survived WW2 prison camp! (NO DISRESPECT INTENDED). I am active with yoga and yard work etc. I can't lift my grandchildren..

Lamotrigine - help with mood?
Lamotrigine is a medicine that can be prescribed to prevent seizures. But also it may help your mood after a brain injury. Has anyone taken Lamotrigine and found it has helped with mood? and in what way has it made a difference?
