Almost every aspect of my symptoms have improved dramatically, the only problems I am left with is my totally illegible handwriting; my weak voice and, worst of all, the occasional fall for no reason!

DBS Denied. Any recourse?
My sister was denied DBS after having been told she was an ideal candidate. The neuropsych evaluator decided she didn't meet the criteria. Initially she was told she would have to wait 6 months to be reevaluated, then it was a year. This was supposedly because she might remember too much about the

My fellow Parkie's, I went to my neuro yesterday and he told my about the Duopa pump and how successful it has been. It essentially pumps a steady stream of Sinimet through a feeding tube placed in your stomach and into your small intestine. The drug is pumped during your waking hours allowing you to

Chicken pox in school again but now using Cimzia- what to do?
Hi peeps- hope you're feeling the weekend? It looks like a sunny day here in the SE of England π I have posted before about chicken pox (or pops as it's usually referred to in my workplace) but that was before Cimzia was added to my arsenal of meds. I was told by my nurse to be very aware of the virus

"DBS"
I have had Parkinson's for almost 10 years and have now exhausted my medication options. I am now considering "dbs". Has anyone else had this done? How successful was it? Do you have any advice?
