You logged into the right place. Nobody is more up to date about DBS than Chasmo, so you know that you are in good hands. Isn't there some program that would put you up in a hotel for awhile while they wait to tune you up? it sounds brutal having to make people go back and forth over great distances, while this procedur is done. AS far as I'm concerned , that's what half of our research money should go, into making PWP lives easier. They "waste so much in research, yet people like you are "on their own". This gets my blood boiling . I hope it works out for you; and i would kindly ask that you keep in touch with us all the way, because there are many here in the same boat and are contemplating dbs. Good luck and may the time come and go and you be better. cs
