No you aren't missing anything. The truth is that our meds eventually turn against us. Then we have the option of DBS, which helps some, doesn't help others. I don't know that there will ever be one treatment that helps everyone.

You are exactly right when you say these are the crucial words. I have emphasized this in all of my emails and Mike did explain, but the media has not shown any interest in this emphasis at this point. It has gone political.

But that doesn't mean we should stop writing to everyone you can think of about the truth behind his "squirming". And anyone who has dyskinesia, knows that sitting in a chair is the worst position and the most uncomfortable one to be in to try to contol dyskinesia. You are very limited in where you can go with all that involuntary movement. So MIchael is going to look worse trying to stay contained than if he were standing up and able to move around.

He is on Katie Couric..CBS news tonight. What will the day bring and how can we use it to educate the public?
