Many pieces-no puzzle
- PD could be further investigated with urgency please, as a malfunctioning recycling system -they are beginning to perform
DBS
inside an MRI with the patient asleep. That's off the top of my head.

DBS - what event changes everything
A friend just had
DBS
, Until this past spring she had maintained an absolute unwillingness to consider the procedure. Then when the flowers bloomed she did a 180 and her decision was absolute and irrevocable. My friend is a few years ahead of me but not so many.

Fox FactorNot a big fan Micheal J Fox
I am kind of thankful because the
dbs
surgery worked well for me. Before that in order to walk I would have to take about 5 different med 5 to 6 times a day. or I be in a wheelchair. It would come out of the blue , I d feel my hands getting stiff then 5 minutes later I was done.

That's when I decided to look in clinical trials because I didn't want
DBS
. And found a trial that uses gene therapy this was 2009 and was lucky to get chosen . Went to Boston to have it done had 2 holes drilled in my head and had it done.

Parkinson's and Quality of Life - a patient's perspective
To a neurologist or neurosurgeon observing my dyskinesias, the option of deep brain stimulation (
DBS
) may seem like a logical choice. However, any procedure that could potentially compromise my ability to communicate is not worth the risk for me, even if it benefits my motor symptoms.

Deep Brain Stimlation (DBS)
I recently (June2nd) had the
DBS
op at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. Having had PD for 17 years I would say the op has been a success. It is early days yet, but I hope to be back playing golf & tennis in the not too distant future.

Has anyone had the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) op? I have just had the op and am keen to share experiences. I have had PD for 17 years.
I would also be keen to know if anyone with PD goes to a gym. I go 2-3 times per week and again would be keen to share experiences. Thanks. Tony

Getting On Track
There is a honeymoon period with
dbs
. I felt so great the first week that I forgot to take my meds but then by the 2nd week everything kind of settle in. I finally figured out my daily dose of meds and got on track. . While this isn't the cure every ones hoping for its a start..

Measuring Tourette's
There is even a case of deep brain stimulation (
DBS
) where the patient's tics were a lot better after the operation, but they they didn't actually feel any better as they still had the urge to tic- an example of hard numbers not telling the truth of the situation.

However,
DBS
is being used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, the the vast majority of
DBS
research that has been carried out has I the main been for PD and Epilepsy.

The Dreaded Manflu
I’ve escaped! Well, for a short while, whilst we enjoy a lovely Christmas dinner with the in-laws. Yesterday was my 37th birthday which the walking manflu didn’t realise until 3.15, no card, no present, (no Christmas present either) this has been an on-going problem since 2003 not just a manflu hic-up
