      I had the surgery done in May 2018 at age 60. It was the best thing for me. I still take the medication but it has helped me get my mobility back. I am tremor free.

    Looks like STN DBS. Do you still take any medication? Did you manage to stop meds completely after surgery? What meds, and how many doses a day were you taking before DBS?

      His done of that DBS but probably it didn’t work well for him tho! Every persons has a unique to surface the response of the treatments specifically a major procedure like DBS but unfortunately it’s not 100 percent guaranteed outcome for every patients facts!

    A good question would be How Are You Feeling Emotionally Right Now - I'm overjoyed for him and others!! I wonder if this helps with CPTSD bc I'm so exhausted from my brain and feel like at 50 it's negatively affecting my memory worse than ever and won't be reversible 😭

    I’m 73 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2016. But I believe I’ve had it since 2010. I started to develop tremors in my hand. I’m a Vietnam veteran was exposed to Agent Orange. I don’t think I’m ready for DBS yet, but my disease is rapidly advancing. Becoming more and more stiff every day and have a hard time walking my Sinemet does not seem to be working very good anymore. I’m extremely depressed and have a lot of anxiety. What a debilitating disease. I just don’t know what to do.😢

      Yes, it is. I’ve lost interest in all my hobbies. And I have some great ones. I’ve had all my life. I have pamphlet on DBS in my neurologist said that it’s not for everybody so I guess it’s a real crapshoot.

      @@lorenzomaximo1818yeah based of my research DBS is not for everyone in fact there’s a highly risk of stroke after the procedure have had done! Think about it first before have it done these major procedures are irreversible when the body haven’t responded well!

      Thanks I agree. I don’t intend to get TBS as I’ve decided it is too risky. I’m met a guy in the grocery store. and he had D.B.S. he didn’t care for it was giving him a lot of problems.So I’m writing that technique off. I don’t know what to do next.
