I have had Parkinson's for 14 years and take SInamet 7-8 times a day, Mirapex, and amantadine,I have never had a tremor or balance issue. My main symptoms are stiffness of neck , shoulders, fatigue, illegible handwriting and clumsiness, and panic attacks. I wonder if DBS would help these symptoms?

I have started the process at the Mohammed Ali Research center in Phoenix. They claim 3 benefits from DBS. They are reduction in tremors, rigidity and freezing... plus an elimination of the "off periods" associated with meds.
