I'm sorry I cannot individually thanks everyone individually 4 such wonderful good warm wishes for tomorrow and my surgery. I do want to say I cannot even imagine going through life without the surgery. You are all wonderful. Talk to you on the flip side!

DBS Surgery
Tomorrow is my day! The laundry is done, floors are swept, my clients are taken care of until later next week, and my daughter will be here from out of town this afternoon. I am at peace. No regrets about anything. Merry Christmas songs and the William Tell Overture are running through my mind!

"Those post symptoms you are experiencing couldnt possibly be related to meningitis" Yeah right!!
It always makes me so frustrated when Dr's think none of our problems stem from post meningitis issues. The government really needs to start doing long term follow-up studies on both bacterial and viral meningitis sufferers to confirm long term side effects of the disease. Its very nice to have these

DBS SURGERY
With my DBS surgery scheduled for bright and early on December 15th, I have to say that the last nine months have passed quickly. I sometimes regret taking a year to make my decision that DBS was not only an option, but a "must do" for me. This website is a wonderful forum - I believe that the experiences

Random nerve firings with anxiety
Does anyone experience some brief nerve symptoms like buzzing, burning, flutter, electric shock in various areas like skin on my hands, roots if my teeth, inner thighs under the skin or behind eyes for example? I know anxiety can mimic anything but this sounds like some neuropathy to me or Lyme disease

“Clinical outcomes of asleep vs awake deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease,”
Good to know: "The results, published in the journal Neurology, suggested that it is better for patients to sleep through the surgery.
