Thanks, Howard, for this very informative thread, and best wishes to your wife. I hope the DBS continues to bring improvement in the quality of her life and yours. It is always good to read of people for whom there has been this kind of turn around.l
It was very interesting to read. I had never heard of PPN-DBS procedure. Your links were interesting too, I had heard of PIG-D as a subtype, but did not have any idea that there was a surgery that targeted it.
I lean and fall, and have no tremor, so your post was of special interest. I have noticed quite a few people who have posted on various forums who seem similar, and echo your wish that this information should be more available. As someone whom STN-DBS seemed to offer very little I had quite a closed mind to surgery. At the very least information like this opens up a discussion, and at best it has the potential to help transform things.
Thanks again,
Lindy
