Looks like the jury is still out on DBS. I understood DBS to be a vast improvement on Parkinson's condition and allowed the patient to limit his intake of Sinemet, Tolcopone, down to zero points. After reading Jim's story this does not appear to be the case.

Why go through such a demanding op, if at the end of the day, medication was still neccessary.
