Wayne Beno

Wavne 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 l 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!”
