What next?/ shingles
I have felt strange the last few days and thought it was the lowering of the prednisone. Last night the pain , in unusual areas became intense and I thought I was having a heart attack. With the aid of the Internet, I am pretty sure I have Shingles. This occurred to me at 4:30 am so I have not contacted

DBS
How many of you who have had DBS would recommend it, and how many would say it didn't help? My neuro tells me I should have it done while I still can, but I really am nervous about it.

I rode a horse today!!!!
I wasn't sure I would ever ride again, as I have been preoccupied with the fear of falling off and hitting my head. My TBI was caused by a pony pushing me over when I was stood on the ground not a riding accident but the fear of a further BI has so far held me back from living. I have become so depressed

DBS
For those who have had dbs and had no tremor, how did the surgery help? In what ways? Did it affect swallowing, speech, walking, medication?

'MENS' (magneto-electric nanoparticles) - the next gen of DBS?
Excerpt: "With a magnet placed over the head of each subject animal, the particles were pulled through the blood-brain barrier, where they “coupled” the externally created magnetic field with the brain’s intrinsic electric field. This enabled researchers to wirelessly connect their computers and electronics

Myxedema...wtf
I have seen stuff about coma,
death
and
brain
damage from myxedema and now I am confused and wondering if I should be calling emergency...?! How do I make the distinction between dangerous levels and what can wait the few weeks until I get meds? Is it normal to have myxedema? Am I dying?

Shingles when you're immunosuppressed
Of course its easy not to understand what is happening when you have a number of different ailments and sensitivities. So when I developed a swollen eye and red swelling on my forehead I assumed it was my usual sensitivity to sun. It wasnt - it developed into shingles. My RA pain is not too bad at the

Sierra Farris Blog
I've seen several people mentioned how good Sierra is at DBS programming. I agree she's been doing my programming for the past 5 months and we are almost there. Here is her blog on DVS which many may find helpful. http://www.dbsprogramming.com/author/dbsprogramming/

DBS update
It's 5 months since I underwent this procedure. I was programmed by my local neuro with some good results. However at my last visit she stated that I was doing great and should wait 8 weeks for follow up. I described my off times as increasing and my gait pretty poor from 6-9pm as dismally slow.

Left Leg Pain
I am a 71 year old female, diagnosed with Pd for 20 years. Three years ago, I had very successful bilateral DBS surgery. For several years I have had left leg pain. I have had several cortisone injections in L4 and L5 also in my hamstring bursa. None have improved the pain. Does anyone have any thoughts

Ritalin for gait freezing?
I've had PD for 18 years (I'm 52 now). Had DBS surgery 4 1/2 years ago. The physical symptom that still gives me the most trouble -- not helped by either the meds or the surgery -- is gait freezing, and subsequent falling. My MD just prescribed a low dosage of Ritalin for this, and I haven't filled
