Re: Parkinson's Disease.

Thanks Brian.

Happily research is turning up new things, almost weekly it seems. I'm hopeful that in my life time there will be something akin to a cure for Parkinson's Disease.

When I was first diagnosed three years ago, I was on an experimental new drug, but the side affects of constant vomiting, meant the benefits were far out weighed by the side effects.

At the moment, because eventually all drugs presently available stop working after so long, surgery seems the most effective option in the future. The thought of an eighteen hour operation, were rods are inserted into your brain whilst you ar eawake, frightens the hell out of me. Hopefully with the constant advancement in drug therapies, myself and lots of other people, may never have to experience that.
