DBS Info

[Guest guest]

I sent this before but must have gotten lost. If repeat sorry.

Hi ALL,

I also to subscribe to the "ASK the Doctor" PD Website since they are not sure what my wife has PD or PD+. This article about DBS appeared on this site. I copied most of it as some people on this site have interest in DBS. I understand if Sinemet does little for the patient DBS probably will not help. But this could be in error.

"I have offered to share my mother's experience with DBS surgery on many

occasions in the past. In light of all the publicity it has recently been

getting, I thought I would once again give the website for PD patients and

their families to read about a real life experience with DBS surgery. The

website is www.parkinson.org/mother.htm.

I also have typed up something from a magazine article, with information

on receiving free/reduced medications for those making under $30,000 a

year, and not eligible for Medicaid. If you would like that information

you can contact me at: dleonard@.... Please BE SURE TO INCLUDE

YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS so that I can send it right out to you."
