I'm not sure about the third website but it may have a link. I haven't checked. http://axonet.com/FN_Neurosurgery.html http://mcns10.med.nyu.edu/CMD/CMDmain.html http://neurosurgery.mgh.harvard.edu/pallidt.htm Teresa, Daughter of Mama (57/43/38) -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Donald R Boyer Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2000 10:04 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Neurosurgery- DBS I need some help. Where can I find a web site providing decent and timely info on the not yet FDA approved Subthalmic DBS procedures.? I was diagnosed in 1984 and am "officially" classified as Advanced P.D. My medication every 6 hours is a 50\100CR, 1.25 mirapex,and 200 tasmar 3 times a day, amantadine 1 per day at bed. My Down times are more frequent and deeper. I know my meds are not able to do the job. Havealmost no tremors--most of the problem is severe rigidity, some dystonia and dyskinesia. I am considering the subthalmic DBS surgical procedure; I like the idea that it can be reversed but am concerned about bleeding and etc. Any web sites or personal expereiences would be appreciated.
