Another Question about DBS

I’ve been following the latest discussions about DBS. It makes me feel hopeful. However, I have a pacemaker already and am wondering if that would disqualify me as a candidate. Has anyone ever heard anything about this? I plan to ask my MDS, but I don’t see him again until next January.
