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?

Mobility Scooter
Afternoon all. I had to come and tell everyone of my new found freedom on my mobility scooter. I had used them a couple of times from Shopmobility at shopping centres, and my husband has nagged me to have one of my own which I had resisted until a couple of weeks ago. My sister was taken ill and was

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

Alone
I'm having DBS surgery in August. My husband is not supportive at all. In fact he said some so hurtful things to me. At this point I don't even want him at the surgery. Am I going to have problems in the surgery because of the emotional state I am in. It's not gonna get any better with him. But this

DBS and infection
Hi. I'm one of those few patients you read about who developed a brain infection from a DBS operation. I now have DBS on one side only. i'm fortunate that I came out of it all right. Now I'm going to have to decide if I want to get the other side done. I think I may wait to see what type of new DBS

Shingles
I am now into my third week with Shingles and I am in constant pain. I have had all the appropiate medicines...anti viral and neurotin for pain and nothing has eased the symptoms. I stayed on 15 mg. of prednisone and just wondered if I should have raised that a bit. I did not want to have to reduce

Boston Scientific Vercise DBS System
In the US, the Boston Scientific DBS system is still undergoing approval studies before it can freely compete with Medtronics' DBS system. I am contemplating, participating in the study so that I can gain access to the new technologies that are only available through the new Boston Scientific Vercise

What next?/ shingles
I have felt strange the last few days and thought it was the lowering of the prednisone. Last night the pain , in unusual areas became intense and I thought I was having a heart attack. With the aid of the Internet, I am pretty sure I have Shingles. This occurred to me at 4:30 am so I have not contacted

DBS
How many of you who have had DBS would recommend it, and how many would say it didn't help? My neuro tells me I should have it done while I still can, but I really am nervous about it.

I rode a horse today!!!!
I wasn't sure I would ever ride again, as I have been preoccupied with the fear of falling off and hitting my head. My TBI was caused by a pony pushing me over when I was stood on the ground not a riding accident but the fear of a further BI has so far held me back from living. I have become so depressed

DBS
For those who have had dbs and had no tremor, how did the surgery help? In what ways? Did it affect swallowing, speech, walking, medication?
