Is the DBS operation painful?
I am scheduled for the DBS operation in Dallas on 4/24/2013. My neurosurgeon says I will be awake but will have a local anesthetic. Can anyone who has undergone the procedure let me know how traumatic it might be. I am 67 years old and a bit nervous about the prospect of the drilling into my skull. Thanks

DBS - does it wind back the movement clock??
On 17th April I'm having DBS. My neurosurgen, says an average result is to straight line my 'on periods' but he expects a significant result which by his definition is winding the movement clock back to when I first started taking levadopa. For me that was 10 years ago. For those of you who have had

Headaches Mostly Gone 80 days later
This is meant to be an encouraging uplifting post for anyone just getting or who is recently recovering from meningitis. I am about 80 days removed from an aseptic meningitis two week stay in the hospital. The diagnosis was partially treated bacterial meningitis. I am happy to report I have resumed

News from Boston Northeastern University!!
Parkinson's is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by the
death
of dopamine neurons in a key motor area of the
brain
, the substantia nigra (SN). Loss of these neurons leads to the characteristic tremor and slowed movements of PD, which get increasingly worse with time.

Does anyone know if deep brain stimulation could help for psp?
There appears to be positive results for Parkinson's tremors, but wondered if it has been tried for psp?

Car accident and DBS
I met with my Parkinson's Movement Specialist Wednesday. I received a DBS "makeover" as Dr. Jill reprogrammed me. She tried different settings and found what works for me. Since the car accident in January, I have been sluggish, taking naps in mid morning and after 3pm daily. The reprogramming has helped

The collision totaled our GEO. the SUV was cited. We both were checked out and released from the ER. My DBS

Deep Brain Surgery for R.L.S.
Do any of the administrators or members know if Doctors are considering D.B.S yet for R.L.S? I bullied my Doctor into giving me a referral 12 mths ago but at the time it was thought that there was not enough information regarding the part of the brain to be worked on and a bit risky if it would work
