DBS

Seems like a great deal of you want information on DBS.
Five years ago I was ready to give up, made three half arsed attempts but my stimulator implant surgery has saved me, it's not all plain sailing but well worth the bad bits, when I turn it off now I become unrecognisable, tremor and stiffness, agonising pain, don't hesitate.

  1. Hey it's been a while, I wanted to check in and see how you are doing? Jill (Team Member)

  2. Thank you for sharing your experience — it mirrors what we see every day. I work as an assistant to a Prof.Neurosurgeon who specializes in DBS for Parkinson's, tremor, and dystonia. In the cases I've observed, well over 70% of patients have significant improvement in tremor, stiffness, and quality of life after DBS.
    Wishing you continued health and well-being.
