New to community & this is my meningitis story
In October of 2014 I became ill with what I thought was the flu. My temp was 102.9 for about 24 hrs before going to an urgent care facility. I live in the US. While at the facility, I was taken to a room & was asked to submit a UA. Not long after a nurse came in & stated I had signs of a kidney infection

Shingles Vaccination
Hi all could someone please tell me if you can have the shingles vaccination if you're on methotrexate as it's a live vaccine. My GP surgery keeps leaving messages to tell me I'm entitled to it. I know its awful but I just don't trust them to get it right.

Stroke following DBS surgery.
A dear friend had DBS for Parkinson's and then a stroke after the surgery. Her left side is paralysed from the stroke and she is currently having therapy. However her severe dyskinesia on her right side inhibits her physical therapy. Dr. does not want to activate her DBS until she is finished with

Epilepsy starting to worsen.
I firstly started with epilepsy in 1985 and for 15 years really suffered with it. After that time, I was put on the medication I'm on now which controlled it to a point. However, over the last few months it seems like it's come back with a vengeance. I've started to have seizures of a day time leaving

Eye test & brain tumours
When you have an eye test can they see if you have a brain tumour? I've been worrying myself sick thinking I have a brain tumour and I booked a doctors appointment but that's not until the end of the month. :( I've heard people saying how they found out they had a tumour when they had an eye test.

Malignant brain tumour
Hello this is my first post & is about my husband. He was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour in February. He has had partial radiotherapy treatment but was told it wasn't working so it stopped.
