Brain Death and recovery with Deep Brain Stimulation
In March 1983 I was a victim of a Hit and deny responsibility attack by an insane motorist who was driving way too fast. My brain apparently had died and the NHS staff at Plymouth Freedom Fields hospital were about to turn off the life support machine. Only thanks to the intervention of my loving parents

With my anxiety I always feel like I'm in a state of emeegency
The way this anxiety works in my head is that if my kids have a cough my
brain
immediately associates that with
death
and as soon as that happens my panic and state of emergency drowns me. I am in a relationship. I have been with my partner for 9 years. He absolutely loves me and my boys.

My husband had DBS surgery in 2005 when it was still relatively new. Instantly it affected his walking though it was excellent for his tremor. We went back to the hospital but was told it was just one of those unfortunate things. The years passed and we changed hospitals to one nearer home for his check

Hi everyone! My 1year old daughter also is suffering from TB Meningitis and had undergone vp shunt already...

Head pain 10 yrs after VM
I was diagnosed with viral meningoencephalitis (meningitis and encephalitis) in April of 2008...hospitalized for 2 wks, home for about a week and a half, then back in for 10 days. I have not been without head pain since April 14/2008. Some days are better than others, some days are pure hell, with vomiting

Signs that death is near
Decreased Socialization and Withdrawal: This can be caused by decreased blood flow and oxygen to the
brain
and mental preparation for
death
. Speak to your loved one directly and let them know you are there for them. They may be aware and able to hear but increasingly unable to respond.

Lyme disease from UK spider bite?
Hi, a few years ago I got bit on the leg by what I think was a false white spider. I did not see the spider but the wound looks like others who had this bite. I remember the next few days feeling unwell and flu like. Dr gave 2 weeks of antibotics and it took 3 months to heal and I had to get the necrotic

Some questions from a Newbie in Limbo
Diagnosed 2 weeks ago, waiting in Chromosome analysis for my sub type, just had a few questions for fellow sufferers. 1. Ive just had night sweats for the first time? I had a pretty nasty cold so maybe its to be expected. Should I call my haemotologist? He gave me the impression we needed to wait til

Immunizations galore
My haemo has me set up to get a shingles shot and two pneumonia shots, because of my immune system being potentially lower due to the hydroxyurea. Public health nurse says I should also get a meningitis vaccination and an updated tetanus shot. All this before I even get my annual flu shot in the fall

Alcohol, PD, and brain cell death
Don't misunderstand my question. I don't want to rehash old questions on these words. Simply, given a case of PD, does FURTHER alcohol consumption (not alcohol abuse!) in an otherwise "healthy" patient cause further brain cell damage piled on top of the dopamine, serotonin, melatonin regulating brain

Need to get a grip
So I’m 5 days in to my cycle, period pretty much done. This morning was fine but this afternoon I have become awash with tiredness which is completely uncontrollable. Had a sleep on couch and woke up literally like all the sadness in the word has wrapped around my heart. I have no energy, still feel

Recovery from bacterial Meningitis.
Recovery from Baterial Meningitis. My husband is recovering from BM. It is very stressful not to understand what the after effects are. He has only been out of the hospital for 2 months. He had surgery to remove a pain pump that had gotten infected. The drs thought they removed it before the infection

On the fence over DBS
I'm new to posting. Have had PD diagnosed in 2012 after I cared for my husband and son with Huntington's over a period of 26 years, so I know how long and complicated neurological conditions can be. I have done pre-op for the Deep Brain Surgery and qualified for it, but my issues are not typical. I have

SX 1 of 2 Complete!
Well, I’m 3 days post-op from my DBS sx (shorthand for surgery), and everything went well. The neurosurgeon, and the psychiatrist (the one who came up w the study) were both really optimistic and encouraged that this will be a helpful tx (treatment) for me. The whole team in the OR were really kind to

New arrival but old and new issues dbs, cbd oil, constipation, Kemadrin
I am new to this. Constipation is a big issue as the dosage of Movicol combined with Senekot does not work consistently and PD medication on time reduces from 3 hours down. I am considering a home enema kit as I seem to be permanently constipated. Anyone tried an enema kit? DBS application now in process
