Robin, Again I'm confused! I thought it was made clear less than a week ago, that the STNDBS was NOT approved yet by FDA and was only being done still as an experiment. I was clearly under the impression that it was being done as a thalmic implant and only for tremors. When did all these centers suddenly receive approval for the STN implant? I was supposed to be notified when Mayo-Jacksonville was ok'd, but I have heard nothing about it from them. I do have another appointment there this month, so surely they will tell me something then. I would certainly like to hear from some of those PWPS who have had the subthalmic implant as to the success/failures of this DBS. Ruth Clark 67/9
