I've had DBS
Hi, I'm Jim. I'm 46 y/o and I've had PD for 16 yrs. I had DBS in 2007. Since then I've had 2 surgeries for replacing the battery generators which are implanted at the upper chest/front of the shoulder. People with a tremor such as yourself respond remarkably to DBS. I would recommend that you have it done at a center for excellence in PD hospital if possible. I have had great improvement with my symptoms, rigidity, slowness in moving. I still however have to take sinemet (generic). Good luck.
