2 months after DBS implant
Well..... this has been a tough 2 months. First month and a half was waiting for the DBS surgery to heal and only half of the second was turning it on and learning how to manage it. That is still being learned now. I think it is going to be a lo-o-o-o-ng process. Leo is a very impatient man and that

DBS placement site
For those that have DBS, how many have had it placed in the subthalamic nucleus? How about the globus pallidis? Has there been any changes in anxiety or depression since the procedure?

Did you know that only half of our disease is being treated?
It has long been known that we also lose a lot of our noradrenaline neurons too. Recent research shows that it may be that noradrenaline loss is primary cause of most PD symptoms including the motor ones. It also is looking like it is the locus of dyskinesia, So what does this mean for me? It means you

**MenB vaccine breaking news**
Well, after years of talking about a potential vaccine for meningococcal group B (MenB), we are delighted to have had some really positive news today about it. No, it’s not available yet….but today sees it getting one step closer, which should certainly be celebrated. And in the long run up to this

If you've had dbs--what was your post surgical experience--how many days in hospital, how soon were you able to resume "normal" activities?
I meet with a surgeon next month to consult and schedule dbs. As a single mother, I need to know what i can expect after surgery. Thanks, Chris

Is a DBS operation even remotely possibly useful to treat RLS
SInce PD and RLS have some commonality in the form of Dopamine defficiency, I was wondering if a DBS sysrtem may be applicable for RLS too?

Diagnosis to DBS (repost from www.youngandshaky.com)
In 5 days I will be probably be as nervous as I’ve ever been, even more than the night before my first court appearance as a practicing lawyer. I am quite sure however, that the events of 14 November are going to go infinitely better than that first outing in court (for the record it was bad, very bad
