I grew up in Colorado, love animals and enjoy painting them as well as flowers and scenery. I had always been very active and strong until 3 years ago, now with a year of Parkinson's diagnosis under way, I am slowly learning to do things again that I once did. I have 3 grandkids that I am able to enjoy now that I'm on the Carbo-Levo. I really want to look into DBS, but my Neurologist said it's not available in Oklahoma. I'm glad I was told about this site.
