I was dx 9 years ago, had DBS last year. Recently all toes and fingers feel ridged and sometimes lose my grip. Is this a PD progression?

See your programmer. Sounds like you need to be tweaked.

I agree. You need a followup exam to see if you need fine tuning with either your meds or your DBS.

As a DBS person myself I must agree with the two comments above. Could be PD, could be progressing, might be any of number of other things. Start where these folks have recommended.

Then please let us know how it goes!

I don't do dishes any more for that very reason. I will be holding a plate and it will just fall out of hand.
