Do brain implants (like DBS) change your personality?
From the New Yorker Magazine For the great majority of patients, deep-brain stimulation was beneficial and life-changing, but there were occasional reports of strange behavioral reactions, such as hypomania and hypersexuality. Then, in 2006, a French team published a study about the unexpected consequences

Sinemet intake blocked by Proteins
I was diagnosed in 1992 and have had
DBS
surgery. At 73, I am actually quite healthy. My question deals with protein intake due to Sinemet being blocked by animal and even quite a few plant proteins, namely amino acid foods. Are the other Parkinson drugs also sensitive to proteins?

PTT - Pallidothalamic Tractotomy
His
DBS
has essentially stopped all tremors and GREATLY improved rigidity. Freezing has basically made it difficult to move without fear of falling and losing balance.

In a panic! Has anyone heard of these?
After a few years of heavy bleeds, now under control with the pill,this past few weeks I had symptoms of stabbing pain (nearly fainted twice) in my pelvis and a very achy back I went for a private scan. NHS so busy atm and I was torturing myself. So the sonographer report states 2 possible causes. Degenerating

DBS - yes or no?
How to decide on a
DBS
placement I'm gonna take the plunge. I just cant do the meds anymore, they don't work like they used to and I'm beyond miserable. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Chi machine?
Has anyone used a Chi Machine? A man at my church who has Parkinson's said he used to use the machine to help him sleep. (He had Deep Brain Stimulation and is now doing really well. No more tremors and his sleep is much better so it sounds like he doesn't use the Chi Machine any more.)
