I know it is a personal thing to decide whether to have DBS but with the associated risks of brain surgery you have to be 110% sure. This form of communication is not ideal but you sure don't sound 110% sure to me.
Personally I would try every drug option, the fact that your Neuro hasn't even suggested CR drugs but has suggested major brain surgery staggers me. I wonder at peoples motivations sometimes and I would seek advice from another MDS.
No one will ever persuade me that DBS is anything other than a last resort.

Defnately agree!..Stalevo gives me more the a half hour of on time, and the on time is quality..I would definately try Stalevo first, before I go for DBS
I was taking 3 x 50/200 CR's daily, and they stopped working, period..I started 3 x 200's Stalevo, and it was like a miracle..Now I take 3 comtans, and 3 generic CR's, and it works almost as good
