I had DBS on May 21.Do you use the same setting all the time? If so how long did it take to find the best one? I am very glad I had the surgery as I am having more ln time but it is not consistent. Every day is different.

Having met AJ I agree these are very impressive results. His PD progressed very rapidly and no amount of medication controlled it. As he says he got his life back.

I have just received this from the Viartis Website. Very impressive results for DBS and e

perhaps the NHS can recognise the cost effectiveness of the operation when taking into account the savings in medications prescribed.

Hikoi,

It is neat that you have met him, I have not met anyone who had DBS.

very interesting although I don't really shake. I've been told I should try apomorphine pump first
