August 28, 2010 TO: Rayilyn FROM: Beverly Forte Soundslike a miracle that you are alive! I am a walking miracle too. I had my dbs surgery in Dec 2004 and batteries went dead in april of 2008. It took 2 weeks to get the surgery to replace them and afterwards, I immediately had problems. I had terrible vertigo and I could not walk standing straight at all. I leaned so far to the right I couldn't walk a straight line. Then in Sept 2008 I went the ER (where no one knew a thing about dbs) for "slurred speech and incoherence". I then went into seizures amd 107 fever and was transfered to the hospital where I had the dbs surgery. The diagnosis was Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome. (I'v never even heard of it.) I had total organ failure and they induced a coma to save my life. I was in the coma almost 2 months....a long story. Several times my family were told to say goodbye, but through a series of miracles I am home now, recovering better than could have ever been expected. In fact, the parkinsons symptoms have actually improved tremendously and I am on less medications. Amazing. I'm glad you survived your ordeal and pray for your coninued healing.
