Dear Charles I think to be able to find your Italian friend, give me some days to ask around.... I was in the utmost astonishment when I heard about your lost of mobility..... Can I ask you about? Where was you implanted? in the sub thalamic nucleus? did you use medtronic? which are your DBS parameters now? my are: 2,5 V , 60 ms, 130 Hz both left and righ units in 1999 the DBS was at first step... may have you planned to reconsider to repat the neuro stimulation.? in Italy I think until now there are about 1000 people with DBS.But compared with 1999 the selection now is very more strict. Only people in good health are considerated to do DBS ( of course the have to suffer Park disease!) but they haven't depression, test neurological has to be perfect, cardio vascolar problem. aren't permited, a good RSM it is obliged, age max for DBS are 70 y.o A problem is there not not ufficial guide lines for DBS. There are neuro-chirurgical teams who work in the sub thalamic others in the pallidus, other in the... some team implants 4 elettro-catheteres.... so is not easy to do the better choose... Before DBS I took 10 sinemet 25/100 with 10 Comtan + Mirapexin 2 mg now I have reduced it at 5 sinemet + Mirapexin 1 mg. I hope don't mind you with my questions and forgive my english not so good. regards gio --------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn Yahoo!
