Rick I used to play piano when I was a young adult. Can't play at all now. Had DBS almost 10 years ago when I'd had PD 7 years. Like Lisa, the big benefit was no more tremors. I don't take PD meds at all and wish I could. The thing with PD is you get worse no matter what you do. There are degrees of disability and I am learning about them. It is harder and harder to use computer, poor balance leads to falls, etc., but no more tremors!! I think my motorized cycling helps. I would bee a real basket case without DBS. Don't know how much my speech difficulty is due to PD or DBS. -----Original Message----- From: onelove Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 9:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Musical people with Parkinson's Hello I am Lisa main problem a budding singer I have Parkinson's since1993, I am also an, Artist I do mosaic art with stained glass.
