What improvements can we anticipate within 10-15 years?
I am not seeking false hope nor do I want to perpetuate it but I do think there will be more treatments within the next 10-15 years. A off the top of my head list: There may be stem cells for PWP. Perhaps intravenous like the UT trial. There may be personalized cell therapy (pluripotent neurons

Chi machine?
Has anyone used a Chi Machine? A man at my church who has Parkinson's said he used to use the machine to help him sleep. (He had Deep Brain Stimulation and is now doing really well. No more tremors and his sleep is much better so it sounds like he doesn't use the Chi Machine any more.)

Shingles vaccine
I'm booked to have a Shingles jab shortly. Has anyone had this while on Prednisolone? Were you okay? Any side effects.

Do brain implants (like DBS) change your personality?
From the New Yorker Magazine For the great majority of patients, deep-brain stimulation was beneficial and life-changing, but there were occasional reports of strange behavioral reactions, such as hypomania and hypersexuality. Then, in 2006, a French team published a study about the unexpected consequences
