Hi russ

i 'liked' this page on facebook,i will follow it when this old lap top allows, i found the video at the top of the page hard too watch, but it is the bare reality of this illness, i count myself grateful i haven't reached that stage yet.

hi Russ

I do not have facebook but i can tell you it took eight different settings till found the best one ( thats going to Bristol eight times coming back home feeling great next couple days dsykinesa & tremors come back still working as plumber go back reset )  then stopped work stress level came down focused on getting dbs & meds right ok ! do think it also made difference on one year assessment where you get admitted & take you off all meds also turn of dbs to see how bad you are then re-set ,re-do med intake like a refresh start ! I'm on 3 -125mg sinemet plus / 4-62-5mg sinemet and 1-250mg slow release. Settings dbs 3.80v left- 2.60v right. Lost my best friend ebony black labrador girl had from pup 14.6 yrs . four weeks ago god bless

Gus,

Seems like you have had quite a time traveling to Bristol, where is it you live.? 

The dbs certainly seems frightening to me. 

Sorry to hear about Ebony x

Oh my, that is alot, I know when i used to have to go to hospital in London for appointments, I used to get the mega bus from Bristol to London, which was NEVER £1 as advertised, then you had tube fares and food expenses,  for me +1, its never cheap and was always such a long day, then id have work the following morning cry
