Shingles Vaccination
According to posters in my GPs' waiting room, I am now eligible for the shingles jab. However, I seem to remember advice on this forum saying that it's not advisable for patients receiving prednisolone. I have been looking at the Government's guidance for practitioners and unearthed the following: "

Activa remote error code 006
We are abroad in Majorca and my husband's DBS Activa remote is showing code 006 and we can't use . This is devastating because the only way my husband can walk distances is by switching it off. It's also weekend and we can't phone our PD nurse and nobody in the hospital can help. I also phoned Medtronic

Newborn with aseptic meningitis
Hi. My newborn was diagnosed with meningitis on day 5. He was treated for 7 days and watched closely in the hospital. He had nothing abnormal in his blood or urine. His LP showed elevated levels of white blood in the 500's. Nothing ever grew from his cultures and they said he had aseptic meningitis.

Shingles & Flare
I haven't posted for about 10 months. Last I was moving back to our home after working away for three years. The move went well, we had almost 5 months at home, and being winter we got a lot of work done on inside of our house. It was fun and aside from the odd day on the couch it all went well.

Broken Places story of Parkinson's
I recently published a book named, Broken Places. One of the chapters is about my diagnosis and subsequent journey to find proper treatment. For anyone just diagnosed, I think this might be enlightening. You can view the book at: www.amazon.com/author/nancywhitfield I recently underwent DBS at Stanford

What to expect from DBS
My doctor is recommending DBS. I'm terrified. What does it feel like? How long is recovery? I live alone and I'm nervous about being discharged too soon, as hospitals seem so anxious to do these days. Do you have to be awake or do they knock you out?

Dog bite anxiety going in for 3 weeks now
So I got bit by a chihuahua 3 weeks ago it was a small bite through my sock on my ankle. The bite does not hurt and there is no pain around the bite, but I keep getting the worst anxiety about this bite like I'm going to die of rabies or something. I have googled so much information on this subject and
