4807

Good PD exercise class today. Learned that there are some new techniques that have the same effects as DBS without any brain invasion issues. The new techniques involve stimulating the spinal cord to suppress the low-frequency oscillations that seem to trigger the onset of "freezing" in PD patients. The techniques might augment or replace the conventional drug therapies, which tend to become ineffective over time. DBS is also not 100% effective either. So far, the techniques have only been tested on mice.

Had quite a few dense, dark dreams last night and this afternoon. Don't recall specifics, but remember the heaviness of the dreams--as if they were in another dimension. Perhaps a result of some of the stories I've been reading. Dreams and reality; reality and dreams. They mix together in an infinity of patterns.

Will be going to a movement class and a dance class tomorrow. They both fall on the same day. Will be interesting to see how I fare with a double event on my schedule. Move and dance; dance and move. The dreams unfold!
