Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

GCA-Lyme Disease Connection?
Hi all, My wife is a long-time Lyme Disease sufferer, and has recently had a consultation with a biologist/pathologist. This person takes a blood sample and then looks at it under the microscope while the patient is present -- and then comments on what has been seen. My wife had the classic signs

DBS update
So gang. 3 months following DBS. I had it done because my dystonia was getting so bad and the reliability of the meds was open to question. I might thrive on a particular dose of Madopar and then the next day would be stuck whilst on a walk after having taken the same. It was very hard to plan anything

Shingles - to vacc or not to vacc
Morning wonderful hive mind. Wonder if I can pick your brains... I've received my first invite for a shingles vacc and while I'm "delighted' I'm on the map with local medical network I'm daunted and unsure as to whether I book one. Came on here and had a look-see in the posts regarding shingles and

DBS should I or should I not??
I'm sure everyone goes through this question over & over again!! Ten times, or more like 100 times in our heads when trying to make a decision and be happy with the choice made. I went for my assessment for dbs this week in Southmead Hospital,Bristol. I went through the test and just kept on thinking

No more earwax
It sounds weird, but I noticed in last year no more earwax. Does anyone else with PD have the same issue or know why this would happen? Dx 8 years ago, DBS 1/2023, only take c/l

i know this is going to sound weird but…….
Guys. Ever since I had the DBS I’ve had rhinitis, itchy eyes, itchy skin. I assumed that I needed to hoover up etc, get my dogs bedding changed etc. I’ve done all of these but I’m still symptomatic. I thought to myself the other day: this started pretty soon after the DBS. So: could I be allergic to

B1 Therapy #Case 2 *Andreia Peres
I've decided to write a series of posts about B1 therapy for a group of people I'm following. Most of them I met through Young Parkies Portugal, or they reached out to me on social media asking for guidance in applying this therapy. Some of these texts had already been published on social media, and

(Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which a person or group causes someone to question their own sanity, memories, or perception of reality. It is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims

My HWP, diagnosed 30 years ago, DBS 18 years ago, has been going through a very difficult period with his PD for the past 3 months. His knees keep collapsing and his 'offs' have become very bad. I am having to lift him from his falls and helping him get out of his chair, bed etc. This has been a real

Tetanus booster while on prednisone?
Has anyone had the tetanus booster (I'm due for a 10-year one) while on prednisone? Am I correct in understanding that we should not have "live" vaccines? And I can't find any information that mentions if it's live or not. Thank you so much for any insights!

Shingles jab
I may be the last person to know this, but.......having been told to avoid the shingles jab as it contained a live virus, I've just been told that the NHS no longer use live virus vaccines, so it's safe for MPN patients. I have now had my first shot👍

swelling around DBS battery 5 weeks after surgery
It’s been 5 weeks since my battery placement surgery and when I woke up this morning my battery site is puffy. The incision has healed and looks fine. No redness or fever either. I’m not sure what caused this. I called my surgeon and sent pictures and they are going to see me Monday morning. But they

DBS energy
Hi guys. I keep reading about people who -post DBS - went and ran a marathon etc and appear to have gallons of energy. Should I be feeling this? No, I don’t think that they’ve got the program right yet but running a marathon? Ay ay ay
