Gio, What a wonder it is to be able to communicate with people all over the world so easily. You must have felt robbed at age 35. You seem quite young at 45 to have had the DBS already. Did you have very bad tremors and other symptoms? Which symptoms have been improved by the DBS? It must have been strange to be awake for the whole proceedure. I have a question for you, separate from Parkinsons: my wife has Celiac disease, meaning she has a total intolerance to wheat. I've heard that in Italy and other parts of Europe, there is a much higher awareness level about diseases like Celiac. Here in the States, people are just now starting to become more aware. I certainly had no idea what Celiac disease was, before my wife's diagnosis. Is it true that everyone is screened for Celiac at birth in Italy? Congratulations on your success with DBS. Hope you don't mind my 'other' question. Enjoy Spring!
