A small study has recently suggested that Deep Brain Stimulation eases Parkinson’s symptoms by directly raising dopamine levels

Started again with IBS pain. I have suffered from IBS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS on and off and it is always triggered by stress. I had a severe episode in February and after a week it calmed down. Now as I am fifty years old, the stress of finding work experience in order to qualify as a Wills and Probate

Blood from bottom
Hi all, I have my first lap in a week, to diagnose and treat endo. Had pain in lower left pelvic area and back for five years on and off and also bowel problems. I’ve been losing blood from back passage, bright red, does anyone else suffer this?

Invasive and non‐invasive brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease: Clinical effects and future perspectives
Deep brain stimulation (
DBS
) can improve motor symptoms in moderate to advanced PD. However, the optimal stimulation paradigm for non‐motor symptoms, freezing of gait and the optimal timing of
DBS
are still under investigations.

DBS for essential tremors?
I'm new to this site and am considering
DBS
. Has anyone had
DBS
(deep brain surgery) for essential tremors of hands, head (cervical dystonia) and voice? What result? My neurologists say it will help with my shaky head. I know
DBS
helps shaky hands, it's my shaky head that is annoying!

Help. Explosive episodes of anger. Is this dementia?
She also has a
DBS
and the dr adjusted it about 2 months ago. We don’t know what is going on. The sinimet seems to increase the intensity of the episodes. My dad wants to have her hospitalized and possibly placed in a nursing home at this point.

Colofac versus Buscopan
I found Buscopan really helped my IBS (wind on left hand side and pain plus general feeling ill) but the GP said it had been associated with dementia so I stopped. I’m thinking of trying Colofac as peppermint capsules don’t seem to help. Anyone found Colofac helpful?
