Dear Carol - Your biggest problems are the same as mine. I've not had any surgery and my only concern re DBS is my age, 70 last June. From my limited research it would seem the results are better for those under 69. If I were younger I'd not even consider waiting from what those who have had it say. Do you mind telling us your age? helen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
