I can't go to any seminar but can tell you Medtronic Activa implants really stop tremor. One of my implants got accidently turned off and I was ready to check out for good. My part-time CG got me turned back on after 2 tries. I had tried 3 times with no luck. It reminded me what a miracle this is. Bad tremors stopped immediately and my voice instantly got worse, and I can barely walk or write, have double vision, but those tremors really drove me nuts. I have been emailed and heard from people who gotten their lives back after bilateral DBS. I'm just grateful not to be shaking so bad, my programmer is ordering me a machine that tells you if you are on or off or if battery is just run down.Ray PS - I understand they now have just one chest implant for both sides of brain instead of two. also Medicare and my secondary insurance pay all ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
