I also thank Thelma for posting about Peg. While this forum is about scientific and medical aspects of Parkinson's, as PWP we must remember that all of us are people with Parkinson's, yes, but we are also people with talents, humor. concerns, hopes, etc. I miss the social interactions that this forum once provided. It is rewarding to hear about and from Peg the person along with Peg the person with Parkinson's. Her personality shines through in her posts. Years ago, a thread compiled short autobiographies from posters. It made the forum supportive, informative, and enjoyable. Just saying. Ann |

I haven't seen any recent updates on how Peg is doing after her DBS. Any news?
My wife has an appointment at MGH Boston, Movement Disorder clinic in late March. She is not doing well at all and I think tweaking the meds is not enough. The neurologist that she will see does DBS. However since she is tormented by hallucinations/psychosis (sinemet related, she takes over 1300mg Carbo-Dopa), I am not sure if she will qualify for DBS. Is anyone in a similar situation and did DBS help if it was done? |

Gary - I am fine but not great; thanks for asking. I'm recovering from DBS, a therapy that I undertook to hopefully help improve my horrible dyskinesia and dystonia. Well, it did indeed do that, but the doctor says I have to be patient, because now I'm having trouble walking. This is my fault as I tried to cut my meds back too quickly . I'm trying to be patient, but it's difficult, and may take up to 6 months. |

girija Something went wrong. I don't know for sure, but I believe it had to do with my trying to come off my meds too quickly, and now I can't find the combination to get back. I am now going to give the extended carbidopa/ levodopa - Rtary- a try. I start next week. I'm always trying to circumvent the " known" way. You can post this at NeuroTalk if you want. Thx for asking Peggy Last edited by girija; 03-04-2016 at 12:54 AM. |

SUCH FLATTERING WORDS WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE! LOL
Thelma, you made my day. I had DBS done in November. When I returned to the doctor's office to be adjusted, the minute he turned on the neurostimulator, my dyskinesia and dystonia stopped! Can you imagine. Since then, I have had to go in to be tweaked a coupld of time for freezing 9, i.e., CAN'T WALK AT TIMES). i TRULY BELIEVE THAT IS BECAUSE i AM NOT SLEEPING. we will get it altogether soon, and I can go on writing and living life to its fullest. Thanks again. |
