Hi, co-listers: I'm very new in this list but a "surviver" from "4 of evlotion of a PD disgnosed when Ii was 27' yrars old. Today I'm 50- A month ago I got a new and very discasting symptom. For unknokn reasons, my usual medication didn't work. A week later I thought I finish my way. All fivished muscles involved in breathing contracted at a time pressing the lungs and become hards as a rock. I hardly could keep some air going in and out. So I realize what a brearhing Insufficiency is. I had very bad moments but after three weeks, pills worked again. Now, as a last chance, I'm considering a DBS-STN surgery. For, I'd like to know how long-term results are (3, 4, 5 yers). Could someone be so kind of giving or tell me where can I get them ? toni cortins ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
