The person who is best positioned to prescribe, dosages and types of medications is the treating specialist.

I have seen in my own local support group the negative results self medication.


I urge my peers, in good faith, to be aware of the dangers of self medication regimes.

No doubt some people will disagree with this viewpoint, and that is OK.

My stance on this issue will remain unchanged.

MAINTAIN A WINNING POSITION.

HI PEACHES, HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH DBS? I HAVE JUST RECENTLY HAD MY BATTERY CHANGED FOR THE THIRD TIME. HAVING HAD DBS EIGHT YEARS AGO, I HAVE TO SAY THAT THESE LAST EIGHT YEARS HAVE BEEN THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE.
I AM DOING MORE THINGS THAN EVER, I DO TAI CHI THREE TIMES A WEEK. I VERY MUCH RECOMEND TAI CHI, THE BENEFITS GAINED BY DOING TAI CHI ARE SO GREAT, ESPECIALLY FOR BALANCE. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING.

Maintain a winning position,

IT'S ME AND MY MUCH VAUNTED FORMIDABLE BACK UP TEAM AGAINST PARKINSONS,
I WILL FIGHT IT ALL THE WAY WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE.
I HAVE NO INTENTION OF GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY,
AND I WILL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING.
YOU BET I WILL.

GO WELL,
STEWART / ALIVEO
