About how long will it take me to adjust ... - Cure Parkinson's
About how long will it take me to adjust after the first time the stimulator is turned on and programmed? I need to get back to work.
Allow 6-8 weeks. Tony
It is after the stimulator has been programmed. Tony
Were you allowed to drive after the surgery before the stimulator was programmed. I had my surgery on April 6th and the stimulator put in on April 13th. I'm going today for a follow up with the surgeon. Do you think he'll give me the okay to drive again?
no. in the USA
Great news!! - let me know how you get on with programming stimulator.. I think it does take time to get it right and a lot of patience! Tony xx
Hey Tony I know you are in UK and I;m in US but I'm on 2nd DBS, 1st time got infection and it all came out. 2nd time 10 months later and this time yhey having trouble getting me tuned. How long did it take for yours to be tuned. I acually have a rep from Medtronics in the the room everytime the Neuro does adjustments. Thanks Bill
