Hello to everyone. As soon as possible, I will upload some videos to show my current state of health. Next week I will ask the neurologist for my pre-DBS videos ...

That would be great! I am having the neuropsych evaluation for DBS on 2/2. may I ask what the target of your DBS was the Internal Globus Pallidus (GPi) or the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN)? It seems STN really works best for physical symptoms and reduces amount of meds required. However, STN has a much more negative impact on speech, cognition and
mood (depression) as compared to Gpi stimulation.

Can anybody share personal experiences?

Hi, my DBS surgery was STN type. However , after 18 months, I haven't any speech or cognition or mood problem. In any case, I know that neurologists do not perform DBS surgery, if the candidate suffers from any non-motor pathology related to PD.

However, this is an interesting link: GPi vs STN deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease: Three-year follow-up. - PubMed - NCBI
