It took about 4 weeks before my balance got better. I must've fallen once a day. Now I am in the middle of the programming. I am on 1 volt and have cut out my carbo levadopa. My dyskinesia and tremors are almost gone.
I hope things are going well with you. It will get better.

Is your balance better than it was after the surgery, when you said you were falling more, or better than it was before the surgery? I've always been told DBS does not help with balance or gait or non-tremor issues, but if you had those before DBS and don't have them after DBS and cut out your sinemet, then it sounds like it can/does help with those issues?
