Shingles and Prednisolone
I have just come back from a tea party where the person I was sitting next to said that she had had shingles 'but was all right now'. It sounded as if it was very slight and hadn't lasted long, although she did say that she had had a rash, but no pustules. Should I really contact the doctor? I am inclined

Memory still an unresolved issue
I have an acquired BI. Having had epilepsy all my life, finally diagnosed in late 90s with Complex Partial Seizures, it could not be controlled by meds. Therefore, in 2003 I underwent an Amygdalohippocampectomy which has helped in so far that this with meds now helps control my epilepsy, though still

Shingles Vaccination
According to posters in my GPs' waiting room, I am now eligible for the shingles jab. However, I seem to remember advice on this forum saying that it's not advisable for patients receiving prednisolone. I have been looking at the Government's guidance for practitioners and unearthed the following: "

Activa remote error code 006
We are abroad in Majorca and my husband's DBS Activa remote is showing code 006 and we can't use . This is devastating because the only way my husband can walk distances is by switching it off. It's also weekend and we can't phone our PD nurse and nobody in the hospital can help. I also phoned Medtronic

Newborn with aseptic meningitis
Hi. My newborn was diagnosed with meningitis on day 5. He was treated for 7 days and watched closely in the hospital. He had nothing abnormal in his blood or urine. His LP showed elevated levels of white blood in the 500's. Nothing ever grew from his cultures and they said he had aseptic meningitis.

Shingles & Flare
I haven't posted for about 10 months. Last I was moving back to our home after working away for three years. The move went well, we had almost 5 months at home, and being winter we got a lot of work done on inside of our house. It was fun and aside from the odd day on the couch it all went well.

Broken Places story of Parkinson's
I recently published a book named, Broken Places. One of the chapters is about my diagnosis and subsequent journey to find proper treatment. For anyone just diagnosed, I think this might be enlightening. You can view the book at: www.amazon.com/author/nancywhitfield I recently underwent DBS at Stanford
