Post DBS Surgery

[annmariebaird]

It has now been five months since my DBS surgery. My brain is healing, the proof of which is that I am again reducing my meds. It is a balancing act - I increase what the Medtronic device is providing and decrease meds. My meds at this time are 1 extended release 25/100 sinemet and 1/4 regular relelase 25/100 sinemet about six times per day. The amount I take fluctuates a bit until I reach the balance necessary, but my physical activities are increasing, and I am not unhappy at all at having to work through this. I am now playing golf once a week, walking every day, working out at the gym three times a week, and driving anywhere I want to go.

Life for me post surgery is so improved. I am very thankful for everyone who supported me and thankful that the doctors who guided me through this are supportive.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Congratulations. I know that I would be hurting a bunch now if it were not for my DBS. One quick question... are you in control of your output?
