All things considered, with my gait and balance going downhill, but no tremor, no rigidity, only a bit of bradykinesia and half the meds from before... I'm glad I had it done! |
I had mine done in 2002, 12 years after my DX. HAving done without it for a week when my left IPG died, One week short of 5 years.
DBS gave me my life back.
I am akinetic on my right side without it. I would be in a rest home without it, or at the very least bed-ridden and wheelchair bound.
