Hi all. I am beginning to consider DBS surgery for my PD, and I am wondering if anyone can point me to information on the plusses and minuses of this treatment. I am particularly interested in - probability of bad effects (e.g. stroke) - what symptoms are and are not improved - restrictions in what you can do because of the wiring (eg can you take an airplane flight? get an mri? ..) Thanks for any pointers / personal experiences. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
