Hi Jane, Thanks for your valuable input My doctor didn't want me have the magnet. I am glad that I broke the rules. I wonder how many patients carry the magnet with them considereing the problems that you experience. I am mainly housebound now so it is not really a problem ----- Original Message ----- From: Jane Ross <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 9:46 AM Subject: Re: DBS only patients alert > Barry, > I have run into some problems carrying my magnets.
