Hypersexuality and impulse control disorders (ICD)
Greetings everyone, I am reaching out as the spouse of a Parkinson's patient. My husband, aged 58, has been battling Parkinson's for 12 years now. Physically, he's managing well, and he's been consistently taking vitamin B1 as part of his regimen. However, over the past year, we've encountered some

PACEMAKERS
When they implant the pacer or
ICD
they go through one of two veins. The Auxiliary Vein or the Subclavian Vein. (At this point Google an image of those veins) They ideally want to use the Auxiliary vein but in cases like mine that was not an option so they went with the subclavian.

Confidence
I had an
ICD
fitted in 2013 after my heart peaked at 345bpm according to the HRM in the back of the ambulance. The device did its job 6 months later after an episode and kicked 15 times rather than the recognised 3.

ICD fitted
I had an
ICD
fitted in June of this year and it's nearly time to apply for my driving license, I have a form for my consultant to fill out but not sure if after they have filled it out do they send it back to me or send it straight to the DVLA as I have to fill out a form myself to reapply for my license

My Gabapentin Dilemma
And then I started experiencing augmentation and
ICD
. I was able to slowly taper off the Pramipexole about 2 years ago. Now, 2 years later, I’m still trying to find something that will work on my RLS. So, 2 years ago I started Gabapentin with 300 mg which had no effect on the RLS.

No diagnosis - still in hospital on my 34 th day!
Early rush to diagnosis , perhaps with extreme hospital pressures was for an ischaemic event(90% of similar events) and a decision to implant an
ICD
( defibrillator). However,I was symptomless , and the echocardiogram came back heart structures and EF okay.

Re USA psychiatrists wanting to keep FND in DSM so they can claim their fees via the DSM codes ... according to DSM there are no DSM codes.
The codes appearing in DSM-5 in addition to the
ICD
-10-CM codes were
ICD
-9 codes. These codes are no longer valid since
ICD
-10-CM codes replaced them in the United States starting October 1, 2015. Clinicians should use
ICD
-10-CM codes to submit claims.'

ICD - DVLA rules says LV EF >35?
Implantable defibrillator
ICD
and DVLA - the driving regulations says the LV EF must be over 35? Is this right? So if you get a 1 month ban say if the
ICD
does pacing do you then need to prove an EF above 35? If so how? Will the cardio order an echocardiogram?

What is life like with an icd?
I'm a very active person. 44 years old. I love to run. Is that still possible? What can I expect? Any information would be greatly appreciated... So daunting.

Ablation for VT
More recently. following another heart attack, I had a stent fitted then they put in an
ICD
. Frustratingly, the
ICD
was fitted as a precaution should my heart go out of rhythm.

support group" on facebook. More than 80 people answered, only one lady had been shocked due to electrical interference. She was in a pool with under the water lights being repaired.

Travel insurance with ICD
In hospital I had an
ICD
fitted. Since then my recovery has been going really well and I’m able to get back out running again which is great. I have a holiday booked soon but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what’s the best travel insurance to get if you have an
ICD
?
