PIP ASSESSMENT FORMS
I had a brain tumour removed some years ago. I am about to have another operation to remove a tumour from behind my eye, which is rapidly taking my sight. I have been in receipt of PIP for a number of years, my forms were obviously looked at by reasonably intelligent people. My current PIP claim was

MDD Suffers: Avolition
I wish I knew this when I was suffering from MDD so I wanted to share. There is a clinical reason why you “can’t” do things. I knew I was supposed to excercise or walk my dog I just couldn’t do it. Which made me feel worse about myself when I chose to islolate instead. Before my DBS surgery I was talking

Rytary and Deep Brain Stimulation
my husband has been taking Rytary for a year. We noticed his veins get large and tingle which he says at time hurts. It gives him a terrible headache more then the the plain C/L. The Dr wants him to consider DBS now . He said it has benefits but won’t last forever then back to square one. He doesn’

All MDD Patients There Is HOPE: Watch this
I have been through it all with MDD. I can relate to every post in here. I was treatment resistant for a decade. I got Deep brain stimulation surgery last year and am in remission from depression. I would guess it’s FDA approved within a couple of years. The options now if nothing works is to suffer

FAA Medical Exam and PPL
One of things things I would like to do after I retire is earn a Private Pilot's License (PPL). Is there anybody who has had problems passing the Medical Exam if you have had PD or DBS surgery?

Rheumatoid Meningitis Recovery
Has anyone out there had rheumatoid meningitis? I was recently treated for it and am looking for others who have had this experience or just experience with recovering from aseptic meningitis in general. I was diagnosed with RF positive RA in 2012. My disease has been stable on Cimzia for 6+ years.

Shingles vaccine
My wife was refused the shingles vaccine by her GP as she wasn't old enough (not over 70) we asked for it a year after she had shingles which she really suffered from and still has a bit of discomfort from. Has any MPN patients been refused because of their age?

Why we need a paradigm shift in Health Care professionals current beliefs and thinking
The current belief and thinking of Health Care professionals is that a high-grade
brain
tumour is a ‘
death
sentence’ from which there is no hope of a reprieve.

Has anyone experienced benefits from coq10
One of the primary causes of neuronal
death
is excitotoxicity, whereby the
brain
becomes over-sensitized to the neurotransmitter glutamate, whose role it is to send excitatory impulses.

Onset/diagnosis after years
Good morning. I welcome you very warmly. This is my first post. I am not from UK, so my English is poor, sorry for any mistakes. In a nutshell: my aunt got sick in 2012. The diagnosis: Parkinson's. Treatment with levodopa had short-lived effects so doctors decided to use DBS therapy. DBS did not have

DBS number of surgeries vary so much from 1 to 3. Main reason surgeons say safer less complications. Is there any proof?
my DBS surgery was completed in one hospital stay. The majority of others was 2-3 hospital stays. Is there research to support that there are less complications?
