Terrie,
I was 52 when diagnosed with
''Parkinsonism''. This doctor kept taking tests , tests and more
tests. He started me on Sinemet. After two years, I finally saw a
movement disorder specialist and he confirmed "Parkinson's Disease" -
that was in 1997. I am now at the point that I am almost always OFF.
I had so many operations in the last 12 years --
gall bladder, morton's nerouma, cartlidge removed from R. knee, 2
partial knee replacements, 2 vertbre in my back replaced with titanium,
there are more !
The last one was a total knee replacement and am still recooping from
it (surgery was Feb. 2007.) Most people go on vacation every year; I
went to the hospital each year !
Needless to say, I hate hospitals and am afraid of surgery. I think
DBS would benefit me but, I am too afraid.
