Hello Dave,


I would first like to say that I can think of two PD members who have had DBS within the past five years, Steve and Peg. I have not seen recent posts by them on how they have done with DBS. It would be helpful if they checked in.
My wife was PD dxd about 16 years ago. Because she had visions with insight about 10 years ago, and now PD psychosis, she was denied DBS. The psychosis was made worse by drugs containing encaptone, like Stelevo. She has been on Rytary for the past 18 mos, much better than Sinemet. If you now have "visions with insight", it is a good predictor that it could go on to psychosis which will make life very difficult for you and all around you.
