Glad you have decided to go with DBS. My inner tremors were driving me crazy, They are gone now. Left side tremors too. But right side is stubborn because Dr. said the trouble spots were spread out and not clustered together. So he has to amp it up to get them but then that gets into the speech area,so speech can be affected. I thought I preferred the tremors minimized and the speech sacrificed. BUT I found out the opposite to be true. So the next visit he lowered the power and the speech came back.
I did gain 10 lbs but weight has stabilized. Energy level is way up. Apathy is gone. Planning another trip when I just got back from another. Babysitting active grandkids a lot this summer. My surgeon said that rigidity is not a problem anymore after DBS and that is the number one thing his patients are happy about. I have to agree
with that!
