Thanks, Maxime. :-)

> Scott you would be a perfect candidate for DBS. Have you given it any thought?

I have only given it cursory consideration. I am still reluctant at this point to have the surgical interventions that have been proposed and are still experimental. I haven't heard of any great success with VNS. I think DBS makes more sense, but I just don't want people drilling holes in my skull and going fishing. When they get it right in Parkinsons, though, it is truly amazing.

I would like for the investigators of DBS to identify and better understand the anomalous physiology that would serve to have predictive power of treatment success.

I guess I have a handful of drugs I want to investigate first. Then, maybe rTMS. Then, maybe DBS. Although I am afraid of it, DBS might yet end up at the top of my list of things to try by this time next year. It's hard to know.
