My brain injury experience
In August 2009 I was diagnosed with a brain tumour and subsequently underwent four seperate operations. At the moment it is looking as if that may be the last of it but I have been left with right-side Bells Palsy and many other problems from lack of memory to anxiety attacks. I am slowly getting my

Shingles and Depressed
Yesterday,I was diagnosed with shingles. I was taken off hydrea and put on anti -virus for a week. I am so sick and tired of being in pain that my head is spinning. Noone I know can relate to what I'm going through, I want to be a hermit. I am cranky all the time. I feel so bad for my kids, they don't

With new DBS patients, how often should you get 'programming' from your Dr?

Ouch !! If it works !!
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative
brain
disorder that results in the
death
of dopamine-generating cells in the
brain
which are crucial to the body's motor controls. This decay of the nervous system leaves patients with hand tremors, muscle rigidity, and speech problems.

Another Week on the Road
BUCKET LIST TOUR CONTINUES Not much touring this week on the Bucket List tour. Lovely Lori has been suffering from a cold and toothache and I was nursing her a bit and catching up on learning more about my disease. I did meet John, a fellow PDer who had DBS this past summer. He looks good and feels

Anyone know how long the waiting list is for DBS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London?
Hi everyone, hope you are all okay. I had my consultation this week. I was told that the only option for me was DBS as medication is not working. Next step is to meet with the DBS Team at Queen Square. I am now left in a situation where I am simply trying to manage this rather precarious situation

Shingles/Herpes Zoster
Hi, I would like to hear from any-one who has had Shingles/Herpes Zoster virus please. Mine appeared at the end of my spine. I had not been offered the vaccine routinely and wonder whether I should still ask to have it. Best Wishes Mini Mouse

Considering DBS. If you have had it, your input is greatly appreciated
My neurologist broached the subject of DBS surgery for the first time last visit. My wearing off periods are getting longer and I do get some pretty bad tremors during those times. I have a few friends who have had the surgery. One has had problems with infection and they have replaced his wires a couple

Has DBS changed your anxiety/depression either way?
If so do you know if the placements were in the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus?

progress for meningitis sufferers but more progress i feel that is needed
recently it was announced that there has been some evidance that meningitis does cause behaviour problem due to the swellling in the meningines. The meningitis Trust are appealing to schools to carry out assesments to provide support for children who have suffered with meningitis which I believe is

Does anyone have steppage gait?
I just returned from 3 days at Barrows Neuro, Mohamed Ali Research center in Phoenix. I was reviewed for DBS. I surprised the Doc during the on-off testing showing very little rigidity, tremor and no freezing. When asked what my walking issue was I demonstrated foot drop and high knee for swing phase
