I confident this has been asked before, but when I search for posts I found none, whivpch I thought odd.
Those who have DBS, it what point did you feel it necessary for you? My tremor is sooooo problematic I rarely can put my debit/credit card in the reader at a store. The cashier has to do it for me. Writing, forget it. I don’t even print anymore if I want it read. I gave up my hobby, actually passion, after 48 years because of my tremor. Very frustrated. |

I shudder to think what would've become of me without the benefit of DBS done almost 15 yrs ago. I don't have a tremor so can't help you with your exact question but I truly believe you've answered it yourself and are ready to go down that road. Best wishes. |

The tremor was very problematic. When the neurologist indicated that the medication was approaching the point where the maximum amount that could be taken was being reached, it seemed DBS was the next step to be taken. After DBS, tremor has been reduced about 75%. The same decision to have DBS would taken again, without a doubt.

I had an appointment with my Neuro/MDS yesterday. She recommended that I should have deep brain stimulation surgery. She is of the opinion that I am a good candidate. I am being referred to another neurologist for evaluation. I would be getting the Boston-Scientific veraci system, which I was able to look at in her office.
DBS wasn't even something that I was considering at the time. I'm somewhat nervous, as this DBS idea was sudfen and there is a lot to consider. Any thoughts, suggestions or advise would be appreciated. Thanks |

anyway, i'd get the evaluation and find out if you qualify, i think the results are good for a year. just remember, your MDS gains nothing by recommending someone who isn't a good candidate for a DBS, there are waiting lists for DBS and just for operating rooms, it isn't like they're having to meet a quota. fwiw, i qualified for the DBS but backed out when TRUMP won and i was afraid obamacare would be overturned so i hope i can requalify since obamacare is now secure, i still worry about not having enough support. |
