Bursts of lightheaded feeling (feels like you got up too quick) but it happens randomly throughout the last 2 days.

DBS! STN vs. PPN
I understand that DBS in the STN helps with resting tremors. My husband does not having resting tremors, (therefore DBS in the STN is not recommended) more issues related to rigidity, balance, and gait. I found a clinical trial in the UK that uses DBS in the PPN (Pedunculopontine nucleus) which targets

I was evaluated for DBS surgery last week. The doctor said I was not the best candidate because I don' respond to leva dopa well.
He also said the surgery was the best he could offer me. He said "perhaps" it would help with the dyskensia and dystonia I have. If it did I might need less medication and my speech would improve. ( leva dopa causes me to have a severe stammering and stuttering problem.). Either way, whether I have

Does the after effects get reduced with time or it goes on deteriorating worrying about it ?
I am also very glad that i found this website. I have been reading your stories from past few hours. All of us are going through a very hard time. I think i was also contracted with some meningitis at the age of 4 when i had a serious headache. Docs said to my parents that they may have seen symptoms

I need to change :(
I have a type of OCD that makes me worry about every single symptom i get. For example a head ache. My head goes into over drive and tells me I have a brain tumor or a pain in my leg is a blood clot. Im at the doctors probably once a week with something new. But no one listens. Ive been in the CBT waiting

What procedure have you used to turn down your DBS stimulator?
I think my stimulator may be turned up too high because I started having some new type of dystonia after beginning lifting weights. What is the best way to make sure you have the right amount of stimulator amplitude or pulse width for therapeutic benefit?

Neck & midline "tremors" developed after DBS for Parkinson's disease.
I had bilateral DBS for Parkinson's disease last year. For the first 3 months, I had absolutely no dystonia or dyskinesia. Then I started to develop a tremor in the back of neck and jaw associated with some dystonia of the back of my neck, middle back, and even abdominal muscles. Before DBS, I would

Is there anyone with DBS taking Madopar or Sinemet and then added Azilect?
This question is for a friend who is not 'online'. He has DBS and on Madopar several times a day. His DBS specialist prescribed him Azilect, several months ago, which he took for about one week, but stopped because he perceived no benefit. His specialist told him that he did not give it enough time

Many Doctors are using these under or over the counter Do not rush out and buy.
Lymediseaseguide.org/rife-machine-therapy-for-Lyme-disease I first came across these devices in the late 70's in the form of radionics they go by biofeedback quantum healing. Computer versions can get right under my skin: They are illegal as one of the comments says. Doctors and other practitioners

Hey there
Hey, my name's Ben and on 02/06/2012 I had a brain haemorrhage. Turns out I have an arteriovenous malformation in my brain (AVM), which is basically a nest of poorly developed blood vessels that can bleed at any time causing a stroke. Since then I developed epilepsy from the damage, and had some gamma

Not sure whether this is a scleroderma rash or Lupus...any advice...it's extremely painful
Hi All, I have Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and I have woken up this morning with a really swollen wrist - nothing new there - but I have a strange, wheel rash on top of it. Not ring worm as I have had this before and I haven't had any tick bites etc so that rules out Lyme disease. It is flat,
