Hey Parkies, I almost 4got to let u no about an orgaination, that specializes In surveys for DBS patients. I have been taking them 4 over a year now. It is called dbs4pd.org. And 4 the parkies that r homebound , u no longer have to say I can't partisapate because I can't get out, no reason now not to join in!! They also share the results when the data is all in. They mail u the survey, postage pd. envelope is supplied and simple instructions. So 4 those of u who thought they wood never get to join a pd clinical trial, HERES UR CHANCE. They give u3-4 wks. 2 finish.I have done 2 now, sleep disorders w/dbs and dbs; fall risks.I'm so happy o do these surveys. So when someone asks have u been in a trial, u can now say y es. And it helps pwp. If u have any questions feel free 2 contact me on this page. ENJOY, fronya
