You said in part:
My neurologist is of the opinion that -- as long as the drugs
minimize the symptoms well enough to continue being productive --
cutting my skull open, inserting probes in my brain, running
wires down my neck, to a control box implanted in my chest should
be used almost as a last resort.
There is even a hospital here in the area that has a Parkin-
son's unit. And they are supposed to be known around the world
for performing this procedure and doing it very well with a high
success rate.
... so, yes, I am considering it. But, again, I consider it
as something to try when nothing else works.
Billy, IMOHO, that is almost the same as " When shall I start Sinemet?"
I'm sure you will know when the time comes, and aren't you lucky to be
in an area who has a great track record for doing DBS's?
I wonder what DBS does for balance?
I have found a 5th Cousin, once removed, who is alive now ,and has PD.
Do you suppose we could join the Duke study on Gene Research?
just me,
Marjorie
