memory loss prostap hell
my life is a living hell at the min I have been on prostap injections now for 2 1/2 years. I was meant to be having a hysterectomy but because I have a complex medical history. They keep finding excuses not to do the surgery such as can’t have general anaesthetic because of XY and Z and I can’t

DBS should I or should I not??
I'm sure everyone goes through this question over & over again!! Ten times, or more like 100 times in our heads when trying to make a decision and be happy with the choice made. I went for my assessment for dbs this week in Southmead Hospital,Bristol. I went through the test and just kept on thinking

UK Brain Neurosurgeron recommendation?
Hi everyone, I have a brain paraclinoid aneurysm and I would like to go through endovascular surgery to repair it because it's causing me to lose my sight in one eye and I have strong headaches, photophobia and dizziness. I am scared of undergoing surgery with a doctor that is inexperienced or that butchered

Why Won't My Neurologist Listen (Explanation)
While my #1 Neurologist diagnosed me with something I never wanted, my #1 Neurologist was one I was very lucky to have known. I only had two one hour visits with him, he was so passionate and willing to help. He told the wife and I, anytime you need my advice or help phone me any time, email me any

PLEASE HELP or advice
We had a
Neurosurgery
review recently and they were happy with her brains healing process. When informed about the vomiting and sickness, he said this was not a common feature associated with my partners procedure and condition. Basically, he was clueless and said it might pass.

Glibobastoma
I was April completely healthy or so I thought. After complaining of headaches which doctors said most likely cluster headaches.. I didn't think much more of it Roll on August I received diagnosis. Stage 4 glibobastoma. This very quickly turned into major brain surgery which left me partially paralysed

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Hello guys! I wanted to give a little update on my dad. He was diagnosed stage four prostate cancer in June 2015, with a PSA of 257 and a single lymph node involved. His prostate was so enlarged at the time that he had to have double nephrostomy bags. He started hormone therapy and chemo immediately

Hearing Aids?
Hi, My mum had brain surgery back in 1991 for a schwannoma/acoustic neuroma. Her hearing was affected but as she's got older her hearing in that ear has significantly deteriorated. Mum is sure that she cannot have a hearing aid due to the surgery but I'm wondering if technology has advanced and if
