In fact, I was at the point of taking up to almost 1 g of levodopa per day, with very little results, but today with DBS, I take 50mg a day, and only because the neurologist has advised me not to suspend it completely.
Certainly surgery is not for everyone, unfortunately, but for those found to be candidates, I say (and remark) I am not a doctor, I say do it, because although it is not a small thing, after doing this, you reborn. guaranteed ...
That's great! I also had dbs after waiting 6 years. I had the surgery done a month ago. Guess I'm a Cyborg now LOL! What a relief it has been! I'm about 90% better! Yesterday I forgot I had Parkinson's! Still hoping for a cure but this should help me get there.
