Nic DBS is a great help with tremor, but I can barely speak or walk. Of course I don't know what I 'd be like without DBS except for tremor. My mother had trigeminal neuralgia. She died in 2003. She declined the manipulation of the blood vessel surgery because she had her fill of surgeries and treatments all her life. Brain surgery was too much. She had stroke from high BP. I am still mystified re Janetta's surgery. Can't remember how many years its been since the Schuller claim. or how Janetta's TN surgery differs from his PD surgery. -----Original Message----- From: Nic Marais Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2011 12:37 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: PD cure like trigeminal neuralgia surgery Thanks for this article Ray!!
