Hello Hillary Blue and welcome back. Good luck as you go through the process of DBS. Please share your experiences with us as you will. I'm one of those not ready to go for DBS yet, but I do pay attention to the exchange here, educating myself for my future which may well include DBS. Thanks in advance. Enjoy!

Hi, you all, For those who don't remember me or who never knew me, I was a list member some years back. For a number of reasons too many and perhaps too weird to list here, I dropped out. But I accidentally stumbled on the archives and had a wave of nostalgia, so here I am again. I have had PD for about 35 years, finally being diagnosed in1982, when I was pregnant with my second child. As soon as she was weaned, I started taking sinemet, 26 years ago. I have finally had enuff, and met today with the surgeon to set a date for DBS - April 8th. I'm glad to be back with you all. hilary blue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
