Hi, @show - if you'd like to read more about others' experiences with deep brain stimulation (DBS), you might check out these discussions on Mayo Clinic Connect:

- How effective is DBS and at what stage of PD should it be performed? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-effective-dbs-at-what-stage-of-the-pd-it-should-be-performed/
@patjack2 and @beachpebble9 - wondering if either of you decided to go ahead with high focused ultrasound (HIFU)?

@lisalucier Thank you, Lisa, for finding so many useful links. Ever since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2009, I've been hoping to find a support group for fellow patients. However, language barriers have been elusive. For the past 17 years, I've been struggling alone. Sometimes, when I'm tired and want to rest, or when I'm feeling down, I want to talk to someone, but no one understands what I'm saying. I feel so lonely. Thankfully, translation software is so advanced these days, allowing me to communicate online more easily. Now, I've finally found a support group.
