Where is he going? My husband had it 3 yrs ago and is thrilled even tho he had a slight brain bleed affecting his speech a tad— he says he would do it again!

Rigidity/cramping are what drove him to do it— he was on 17 carba/leva a day and down to about 6!

Diagnosed at 64 yrs old, 7 yrs ago.. you should watch as many videos as you can to educate yourselves… talk to some DBS salespeople… we chose Boston Scientific for several reasons…..we changed from UAB to Vandy bc they did both sides the same surgery and UAB wouldn’t—Emory would as well…

Just look up DBS videos, Can also watch DBS Vanderbilt..

All the best!

that’s good to hear. I like to have some options waiting for the future. Does he have a lot of equipment to carry round or is it quite discreet?
