Hi all!! I was a member of this group several years ago but let my membership lapse because I didn't have time to read all the input. Now I'm semi-retired and think maybe I can keep up with it. I am a 61 year old female, and this is my 24th year with Parkinson's. Two and a half years ago, I had the deep brain stimulation operation on both sides of my brain. I still take carbidopa/levadopa 10 /100 and Amantadine, but I quit everything else cold turkey because the meds were making me feel sick all the time. I've tried just about everything in the arsenal of meds during my 24 years with PD, but for now this combination seems to be adequate. I would encourage anyone who is interested to look into DBS seriously, as it has definitely proven helpful to me. I would welcome any questions about the operation, or anything else for that matter. Thanks for listening.
