I don't know why it took me so long to figure it out. I was shaking really bad, very,very rigid. It was such an effort to get up. Then remembered to check the batteries for my DBS. They were both off. Turned them back on and it made a world of difference.

But both my movement specialst and neurosurgeon insist I may not even have needed the surgery and will not replace my batteries. Called Medtronic; they were no help.

The Doctors don't believe patients anymore. Protest their conclusions and soon you will find yourself in a mental ward for being "extremly depressed."
