Hi Everybody - Our PD on/off log should be up and running in the next two weeks.  (Beta testers - you'll have a link this week I hope!) Anyway, it occurs to me that we could easily modify the on/off log for DBS to give programmers and neuros a crystal clear view of what is going on.  I'm thinking we should add some questions about headaches, and about the random electrical pulses some of you have experienced. Can  you guys weigh in and tell me what would be useful information for your programmer/medical professional to understand re DBS changes, symptoms and problems?  Thanks everyone!  Meg

Migraines from about 35 till dx at 52, last few months before going onto
inemet were almost daily,
ith aura and headache - they disappeared for several years and have had
nly about 3 or 4 in the
ast couple of years as wearing off has become more obvious.
