Sunflower,
Definitely a yes!
I'm 9 yrs post DBS and continue to benefit from it.
My neurostimulators went flat a few months ago and I had to wait a few days for them to be replaced and relied totally on Sinemet.
For those having DBS now that doesn't happen I don't think as there's a rechargeable type inserted initially instead.
Anyway I was shocked at how far PD had advanced without the benefit of stimulation.
I froze and couldn't so much as reach for a pill or rise from a chair are examples of how much progression has taken place without me realizing it.
You might benefit from contact with some DBS groups.
All the best wishes.
