  • DBS has been a great treatment for those who've exhausted everything else medicine has to offer.

    I agree with nina17911...a dx of PD can expose your partner's true character.  Unfortunately, you might just find out your marriage was built on a foundation of sand.

  • I like this infomercial, and am eager to see the medical advances just around the lab- corner; I feel for those with parkinsons, also for their partners, those who married prior to parkinsons affecting them, I think of the vows.. in sickness and in ... then the partners, it is very hard to commit, not knowing if there is a future together without pain and struggle. best wishes ..
