New study suggests DBS should be used earlier.
DBS proved very effective in patients with average of 7.5 years since diagnosis. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1205158?query=featured_home

What I wish I had known about liver disease
Liver damage can lead to other organ damage (e.g. pancreas, heart, etc.) and diabetes, heart, digestion and
brain
problems among other things. While it is way better than
death
, life after a liver transplant is not a cake walk with all of the pills you have to take, higher risk of infection, etc.

Aftermath of meningitis in children
Hello, I am new to this post and am beyond concerned for my 6 year old son. He had bacterial meningitis when he was 3 months old.

DBS Surgery
It has been one month since my DBS surgery - time for an update. I am now "in charge" of my regulator. This means that my neuro showed me how to change the amount of voltage is sent to each side of my brain. This allows me to increase or decrease depending on my symptoms. I was encouraged to substitute

My upcoming surgery
I'm scheduled for head surgery February 6, 2018. I have a neurosurgeon & a maxillofacial surgeon working on me. The neurosurgeon recommended the other surgeon- seems like he's helping a younger surgeon get grounded. Tried to sell me on him, saying he could touch me up. The newer guy says he doesn't want

Please can anyone advise.....
I'm guilty of not being on the site for some time, as I have not been great really, so apologies for not being around. I'm concerned today because even though the endocrinologist I last saw wanted me on Naturthroid, today I had a medication review with some pharmacy practitioner or similar. He knew nothing

DBS Surgery
I have had several requests to update my status since my surgery on December 15. I will be going to the doctor to adjust my voltage on Tuesday and would like to defer until then. My neuro advises that it takes 3 weeks for the full impact of each adjustment to take place. The amount of meds I need

DBS Surgery “Awake or Asleep” that is the question?
Ive had it with dealing with the symptoms of this disease and I’m looking for some relief and maybe some normalcy at least for awhile, so I’ve decided to explore DBS. I have a consultation on 1/26 at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston to evaluate if I’m a candidate or not. I’ve heard from many on

Would a brain tumour cause fluid build up in ears and neck pressure?
Is having fluid in your ears normally a sign of a infection rather then a Brian tumour that's causing my hearing problems? Would a Brian tumour cause fluid build up? I'm just wondering as the ringing in my ears is unbearable and i'm having pressure in my neck, I always feel like I have to rest my hand

Second job
So just gone and got myself a second job a few hours on a Saturday and Sunday as an elderly carer. I’ve got to stay at least 6 months otherwise I have to pay for my dbs and training. Just starting slowly to see if I can handle it. The extra money would be grateful 🙂 Just hoping I can handle my job
