I’m curious if anyone has noticed that they have had the ability to return to driving safely after DBS.

I had DBS since 2007. I am 54 now and still driving. To be fair I was driving before I had DBS as well.

Yes, I had pretty much given up driving before my DBS because my dyskinesia was so bad I could not keep a steady foot on the gas and brake pedal; since DBS my dyskinesia is gone and I am back to driving without any difficulties.
