Hi Jus thought I would reply to this from Audrey's PC. I had the DBS operation an the only two things I was guaranteed of being cure of were rigidity an tremors. This was true. I have been attending PT course recently where my stimulator was down a little low. I had a great deal of difficult performing some of the more the complex tasks. However with a little jiggling after seeing my neuro I was able to change my test score over 3 months from 131 to 147 out of 150. The problem I still have is freezing whiles moving through perceived obstructions such as doorways. This was relieve by my counting my paces and slowing the frequency of my steps down. It would appear that the perception of an obstruction is very much a PD problem. Hope this helps. john Thomas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
