saw doctor
I apprpeciate all the comments. I am having such bad dyskinesia now, it lasts almost all day. It is hell that is for sure.
I saw the neurosurgeon and he said I was an excellent candidate for DBS as I was also an early onset pd. I told him I wasn't so early, I am almost 65. But he said I got it when I was 55, that is early onset. Anyway, at this clinic, they do about 2-3 dbs's a month. So I am going to try to schedule one in October.
I am so glad I am a good candidate, but am still somewhat scared to have this surgery. I have had so many surgeries in my life, all orthopedic, that I wonder if my body can take any more.
I guess I will do it, what else can I do?
