Is anyone else experiencing Post Viral Meningitis illnesses?
Is anyone else suffering from an increase of illnesses since having Viral Meningitis or Meningio-Encephalitis? I was admitted as an emergency with Mengio-Encephalitis in August 2011 and put in isolation for over two weeks. Since then, have been back into hospital four times: 1). Nov 2011 - I began

Aminophylline or Theophylline? Anyone know about half-lifes and / or how long one has to be off the drug before effective anti-biotic works?
Consultant(s) suggested Aminophylline on a three month trial. They wrote to GP who has prescribed Theophylline. I understand that they are very similar in effect but am concerned about how long they stay active in body. Why? I have frequent chest infections (minimum 6 a year) so likelihood is that I

Epilepsy medication
I was diagnosed with a Ganglioglioma tumour and Focal Epilepsy almost 3 years ago now. First medication was Keppra which made me tired all the time. Next I was given Lamotrigine which caused bad head pains. I am now on Pregabelin and often feel off balance and my memory has become dreadful. Over

News from Boston Northeastern University!!
Parkinson's is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by the
death
of dopamine neurons in a key motor area of the
brain
, the substantia nigra (SN). Loss of these neurons leads to the characteristic tremor and slowed movements of PD, which get increasingly worse with time.

Is the DBS operation painful?
I am scheduled for the DBS operation in Dallas on 4/24/2013. My neurosurgeon says I will be awake but will have a local anesthetic. Can anyone who has undergone the procedure let me know how traumatic it might be. I am 67 years old and a bit nervous about the prospect of the drilling into my skull. Thanks

DBS - does it wind back the movement clock??
On 17th April I'm having DBS. My neurosurgen, says an average result is to straight line my 'on periods' but he expects a significant result which by his definition is winding the movement clock back to when I first started taking levadopa. For me that was 10 years ago. For those of you who have had

Headaches Mostly Gone 80 days later
This is meant to be an encouraging uplifting post for anyone just getting or who is recently recovering from meningitis. I am about 80 days removed from an aseptic meningitis two week stay in the hospital. The diagnosis was partially treated bacterial meningitis. I am happy to report I have resumed

Car accident and DBS
I met with my Parkinson's Movement Specialist Wednesday. I received a DBS "makeover" as Dr. Jill reprogrammed me. She tried different settings and found what works for me. Since the car accident in January, I have been sluggish, taking naps in mid morning and after 3pm daily. The reprogramming has helped
