Deep brain stimulation first therapy to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease
“DBS is the first therapy to show disease-modifying effect—it can actually slow down cardinal features of Parkinson’s. There has been no therapy, drug, or device that has ever been able to do that,” said Dr. Konrad. https://www.mdlinx.com/neurology/top-medical-news/article/index.cfm/ZZ52FEC8C385D94C8EA0767FCBC5BA4391

Sudden Downturn
My spouse has the DBS in oct 2016. The past 6 months, he’s been falling daily. Forgetting, occasionally leaving stove on... Finally, the doctor convinced him to get a walker. We’re also testing him to see if he can drive. I upped his devices to 3.7voltz a month ago but the dr put them at 4.0 yesterday

Normal LFTS but feel something is very wrong.
Hi, thanks to everyone who reads this post. Im a 36 year old female who was a very heavy drinker in my 20s until I met my husband. When I say heavy I mean the equivalent to 2 bottles of wine per night- every night. I was drinking alcoholically but because I never drank alone or didn't drink during the

Problems with sinemet
Hi, I have a question, my husband is the one with Parkinsons. We are having an issue that when he takes his sinemet, that he has taken for 20 yrs, in different amts, he kind of loses all sense of reality. Another way to put it is he is almost like he is drunk. Any amt he takes makes him like this. Also

Is Hashimoto's possible without weight gain?
Having recently been diagnosed with autoimmune disorder/Hashimoto's, I have done a little reading and was curious as to whether it's possible to actually have Hashimoto's but with the total opposite of the weight gain symptom? I tick a lot of the boxes, but weight gain seems a very, very common - almost

Dystonia Tardive
I am new here. I am contemplating DBS for tardive dystonia and wonder if there is anybody who has experienced this procedure for this condition- just to discuss pros and cons.

I suppose you could say I have finally listened to my left achilles, which was shouting SO loud I had to abort a run for the first time last week and hobble home. Lots of ice-ing, elevating, deep heat, painful massage and rest (grrrr!) and trying not to panic about a 10k in three weeks and a HM in 7(

Worsening breathing problems due to B12 deficiency?
Hi guys, I've been having a number of symptoms for the past 4-6 months which have increasingly become worse. Most notably, I've had gastritis-like symptoms, including bloating, wind, stomach discomfort and reflux, which often comes with a sort of 'lump in the throat'/tightness in my throat that comes

Post-graduation Knee injury!
So after exactly 3 weeks of post grad consolidation of 3x5k runs i thought I'd push a little bit further and go for 6k. I'd been hydrating well. eating and sleeping properly and being in hols was well rested. This also meant being away from the safety of my treadmill, but being a big boy graduate I

Deep Brain Stimulation Settings
My husband had DBS surgery in 2005 when it was still relatively new. Instantly it affected his walking though it was excellent for his tremor. We went back to the hospital but was told it was just one of those unfortunate things. The years passed and we changed hospitals to one nearer home for his check

Too much gluten while pregnant linked to increased diabetes risk for baby
Strictly speaking, off-topic, as it is focussed on diabetes. However, as most will be aware, discussion of gluten is common and likely relevant to thyroid issues. I have posted the Guardian article link first as it is the most accessible. Then a link to the BMJ editorial and, finally, to the actual

Thyroid test results
I’ve just received my results from Medichecks and here they are. I am not on Levothyroxine , and haven’t been for two years. I follow a Gluten free diet which seems to have helped stabilise/lower my antibodies. I’m happy to go back on Levo if it’ll help lower my TSH and hopefully help with energy
