well  rob and linda welcome to the elite pain club after 25 yrs of meds i am going into the hospital soon (bethesda hospital in ohio) for a 3-5 day trial of constant iv pain meds.. if it works they will implant a perm iv pump directly into my spine and i will get continual iv drugs like a cancer patient. the pump battery will only need to be changed every 10 years and the meds will need to be refilled into the pump every 90 days. i can hardly wait. i will keep and the list posted i have lived with this pain now for almost 8-9 years i was at the point of screaming literally in pain for 7-12 hours a day... it got so  bad that my husband had to leave because there was just nothing he could do but listen and 7-12 hours of screaming will test any living soul living with a person in this pain..... i am at the point of suicide now so i hope this really works maybe it will help others in the end of their life with parkinsons disease...   the pain is originating from the brain and the central nervous system and seems to be directly related to the long term of the disease itself. i pray i can leave this world helping others in some small way. no one should ever live like i have the past 8-9 years the pain is horrific and problem is we are outliving our bodies and this disease jenny carmack in ky
