Apparently you can now have the surgery while under general anaesthesia. Did you have that option?

My balance is worse than before surgery. The doctor said it is probably just the body reacting to surgery and will get better on it's own. It has gotten better but I am off balance at night still. I hope it does eventually go away.
You are right, dbs is not supposed to help with balance. |

Being a recent brain surgery person, the docs did not want to dissolve the clots using TPA as they were afraid of hemorrhage. Sooo, still sitting here getting adjusted to oral Heparin while still getting the IV stuff that saved my life. Good news is that I have enjoyed a prolonged honeymoon period that keeps me optimistic! |

Well I had bilateral STN three months ago. Now my balance is much better, bradykinesia is gone and tremors on both sides are also gone. Any medication containing dopamine belongs to the past. The most painful and frightening part of the procedure was when the headframe was placed. I would say it is worth going through the procedure. The quality of life has improved considerably. You have to give at least a month to the programming team to increase the voltage gradually and decrease the medication. Good luck.
