Les, I had DBS about 10 years ago. This was when DBS was almost experimental. It's helped me a lot-- no more tremors, I do have dystonia and fatigue, but I understand today's version of DBS may be able to deal with these symptoms, My suggestion is that you join the DBS list serve, where you can get a ton of good info. I no longer have the address, but the guy who owns the list is Charles Black. As I recall, he's from LA. Good luck. george l. bousliman [log in to unmask] On Jul 12, 2007, at 2:37 PM, Les Combs wrote: > I am 60 years old and was diagnosed in 1999 with PD.
