Does Anyone Have Expanded Bile Ducts?
According to my last several imaging tests I have an expanded bile duct. Is this normal for the disease? I am scheduled for an endoscopic ultrasound in a few weeks to take a better look at it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there any thing they can do for it? Or are we just spending

DBS
surgery no for me. I am taking around 15 sinemet pills 25/100. So, we as a family are just wanting to do some research and speak to other sufferers whom can give some pro’s & con’s on the Duopa Therapy. Thanks in advance!! 😁 Luba

Muscle retention in PD
I have been riding a relatively good streak since
DBS
6 years ago. Recently my right side muscles, bicep and my leg have become severely compromised. My bicep looks like I survived WW2 prison camp! (NO DISRESPECT INTENDED). I am active with yoga and yard work etc.

DBS Story
I had my
DBS
on March 20 2019.at one ofthe famous hospital in India. Still tuning going on. I have stiff neck. Taking 75 percent medicine. Surgeon claims your STN was too much narrow and thin. So it will take some time. God only knows when I will recover.

How I reduced my Parkinson’s meds by 50% and beat my addiction to dopamine
I’m lucky that I am able to carry on un-medicated better than most (and I have no doubt the
DBS
running in my right brain and keeping my left arm in check contributes to my ability to do this.).

DBS has changed my life
Yes
Dbs
has reduced medication by 75%. It has made my Dyskenisia disappear. With setting changes have not visited the doctor even after 15 months after surgery.

A small study has recently suggested that Deep Brain Stimulation eases Parkinson’s symptoms by directly raising dopamine levels
“Even if dopamine-producing cells are not activated directly, electrically stimulating other parts of the brain, particularly those that receive information from dopamine-producing cells, can indirectly increase dopamine production ...” https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/2019/08/23/deep-brain-stimulation-directly-raises-dopamine-levels-study-suggests

Seeking to talk to others with IBS FLARE UPS.
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

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.

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?

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.
