Hi,
I joined in 2006 and remember the old Braintalk. A lot of members have come and gone. I have been disappointed that the ones who have had DBS, like Steven, have never followed up after. I remember Daffy Duck aka the Godfather. He was irreverent and upset some people but I found his posts interesting.
I too have not posted or visited as frequently now. My wife who has had PD for 20 years now and is with Hospice for the past 3 months, could be many more. I have given up on waiting for the "cure" that is always a year away. I can only say take anti-inflammatories like Curcumen.
