Default Deep Brain Diarist, Logging On!

Greetings! I just found out about this site and thought I'd come in and take a look.

I’ve been a radio news director, a disc jockey, a talk show host, and I programmed the “On Broadway” channel at XM Satellite Radio from 2001 to 2003. Now I'm a full-time writer-editor, I work from home most days and go into the office when I feel up to it.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2000 and had Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in June 2007 as part of a clinical trial to determine the safety and tolerabilty of DBS in early PD.

As I write this, I’m noticing a deterioration in balance and gait. But for the most part, I’m doing just fine.

I live in Elkridge, MD with my wife, Gail, my stepson, T.J., and our two doggies, Raven and Shiloh.

Hello DBD, and welcome to NeuroTalk. This is such a nice place with so many friendly, caring, and helpful people!

We're so glad you found us!

Here is a link to the Parkinson's forum, if you haven't noticed it already.

This is a link to the Social Chat forum:

And here's one I like (Games and Such) to take my mind off my problems and have a little fun:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum104.html

I wish you the best. I have MS, and mostly hang out at the MS forum. Because of the MS, I've developed tremors that my neuro is trying to control with medicine. If you ever just want to talk, feel free to PM me.
