What to expect from DBS
My doctor is recommending DBS. I'm terrified. What does it feel like? How long is recovery? I live alone and I'm nervous about being discharged too soon, as hospitals seem so anxious to do these days. Do you have to be awake or do they knock you out?

How the Uridine Stack Works The uridine stack works through two main mechanisms to provide therapeutic and nootropic effects. 1.The chemical uridine promotes the creation of new dopamine receptors in the brain, an effect which is more pronounced in brains with fewer dopamine receptors. This is done

I'm having DBS surgery in August. My husband is not supportive at all. In fact he said some so hurtful things to me. At this point I don't even want him at the surgery. Am I going to have problems in the surgery because of the emotional state I am in. It's not gonna get any better with him. But this

Ferritin levels
Hi all! As some of you know I have been taking t3 only for about 16 weeks, most things are better but I have very weak and painful muscles. My last iron test showed I was anaemic and my Ferritin level is 120 with a range of 30 to 300! I suggested to my doc that an iron infusion might help but he said

DBS and infection
Hi. I'm one of those few patients you read about who developed a brain infection from a DBS operation. I now have DBS on one side only. i'm fortunate that I came out of it all right. Now I'm going to have to decide if I want to get the other side done. I think I may wait to see what type of new DBS

Boston Scientific Vercise DBS System
In the US, the Boston Scientific DBS system is still undergoing approval studies before it can freely compete with Medtronics' DBS system. I am contemplating, participating in the study so that I can gain access to the new technologies that are only available through the new Boston Scientific Vercise

DBS
How many of you who have had DBS would recommend it, and how many would say it didn't help? My neuro tells me I should have it done while I still can, but I really am nervous about it.

Iron
Hi. I have low iron as well as PA. After 6 months of iron tablets prescribed by the doctor my iron has only gone up by 16. I'm now at the lowest part of normal range (20ugl). Doc said the normal range was between 20 and 250. And said to continue with the tablets. But I'm so tired. I really don't
