Wayne Beno Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease(帕金森氏病).

“For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖).I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn’t often and I really couldn’t do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,”said Wayne. Then Wayne’s doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation(刺激)(DBS).DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinson’s disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient. In addition to his doctor’s recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend’s experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin could be well worth the effort. And was it ever. “It was the best thing I ever did.I’m down to zero pills a day and I don’t shake at all,”reports Wayne.“Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old self.I’m back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more fishing,every day of the year.Things just couldn’t be any better!” 第11题:Before getting Parkinson’s disease,Wayne loved A.social activities.
