Rayilyn, Before you get a botox injection, you may want to inquire about the cost. I had one about six weeks ago and was led to believe it would be painful. It was, but not physically. The pain came when I got the bill. It cost more than $2,500 and, on top of that, it did nothing to blunt my dystonia. George L.

Walking is getting more difficult, but DBS does stop tremor, which drives me nuts.. Dr. Abe has had some testimonials on DBS and it seems for some people it is a tradeoff - you either walk or talk, or some othr weird combination I am losing my voice since before surgeries and seriously doubt that I will ever be able to really walk again. considering botox for toes and giving Sinemet another umpteenth try. Using the computer really tires me, so I will probably eventually disappear. I'm coming on-line every few days to order my groceries from Albertsons.com Also had bad chest pain twice this month - probably gas - I"m such a gasbag anyway Ray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
