I just found it interesting that we even had that discussion today. My tremor was really, really bad due to the stress of the 90 minute drive...the torrential rain, city traffic, one accident to get around. I certainly never imagined that it would even be suggested to me. I had never heard of the recommendation to anyone prior to Stage 5 or late Stage 4.
After returning home I spoke with a PWP friend who said that her doctor has also suggested it to her and she is YO Stagel 2.
Dale, Dr. Shulman did say that age does makes a difference, as you saw with your two older PWPs. She indicated that between the physical lose due to age and the lose due to PD, the out come is rarely what was anticipated by the patient. But, that YO do very well, as you have witnessed with your friends.
