Just read one of Diane's posts which claimed in about ten years DBS as done now would be replaced by nanotechnology which would get hairlike electrodes to your brain without drilling holes in your skull and putting the leads under your scalp. I stopped having mammograms due to implants and had decided never to have another MRI, but guess I could survive being turned off again, I had to be when I had redo of left brain. The whole bed shoke in surgery. My problem is in explaining my condition to medical personnel who are not up to speed since I can barely speak. AAAAARRRGGGG!!!
