Peggy I have had Parkinson's for 20 years. I have never had much pain, but several people have told me that I had a high tolerance for pain. I had DBS in February 2009 which was hugh success. Prior to that I was constantly falling. Most of the time the falling was on concrete and lucky enough I didn't break any bones and also didn't have much pain when I fell.
