That happens to me too. Sometimes, though, I begin shaking and slowing down and it takes me time to recall not taking my drugs. I had my DBS 8 years ago. I can go without my drugs for a day. I can go without the DBS for over a month. The quality of life with the DBS off is terrible. I wonder if Medicare cannot afford the cost of DBS surgery, It seems to be the least helpful of the choices.

I suppose I shouldn't be whining. A 4 year old daughter. I bet she is beautiful! My older sister raised her son alone. He now teaches Physics at a high school. She did a great job. He has 3 sons. The fruits of her labor are great. Yours will be too.

Sincerly,
Vicky
