Cec's cousin who suffers from Parkinson's came to visit us in September. He lives in California. He told us about this surgery for Parkinson's that he was looking into. Today he went to the specialist and his surgery is scheduled for December! He takes 12 pills a day and this surgery should lessen or eliminate the meds and stop the tremors! His surgeon has performed over 100 of these procedures.
It's called Deep Brain Stimulation and his surgery is being done at the Loma Linda University Medical Facility in California! There is so much information it's easier just to give you the link from the Parkinson's Foundation Website:
He's lived with Parkinson's for a long time and hopefully this will be successful!
