Has Anyone Else Had The Deep Brain Stimulation, And Had Their Dentures To No Longer Fit?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had the DBS surgeries last June, and because they were two weeks apart, I just left my dentures (partials top and bottom). When I was through the surgeries, and healing very nicely, I couldn't get them to stay in my mouth!!

Has Anyone Been Through Stem Cell Surgery For PD
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am reading many things about stem cell surgery for parkinsons lately on the web. I spoke to my doctor who said we are not there yet with stem cell surgery on the brain. But maybe he is not there yet with stem cell surgery and talks it down because he does not do it. Just a thought.

Of course… read more
