What to expect from DBS
My doctor is recommending
DBS
. I'm terrified. What does it feel like? How long is recovery? I live alone and I'm nervous about being discharged too soon, as hospitals seem so anxious to do these days. Do you have to be awake or do they knock you out?

DBS
--are described.

DBS and infection
I'm one of those few patients you read about who developed a brain infection from a
DBS
operation. I now have
DBS
on one side only. i'm fortunate that I came out of it all right. Now I'm going to have to decide if I want to get the other side done.

Alone
I'm having
DBS
surgery in August. My husband is not supportive at all. In fact he said some so hurtful things to me. At this point I don't even want him at the surgery. Am I going to have problems in the surgery because of the emotional state I am in. It's not gonna get any better with him.

DBS
How many of you who have had
DBS
would recommend it, and how many would say it didn't help? My neuro tells me I should have it done while I still can, but I really am nervous about it.

DBS
For those who have had
dbs
and had no tremor, how did the surgery help? In what ways? Did it affect swallowing, speech, walking, medication?

'MENS' (magneto-electric nanoparticles) - the next gen of DBS?
Excerpt: "With a magnet placed over the head of each subject animal, the particles were pulled through the blood-brain barrier, where they “coupled” the externally created magnetic field with the brain’s intrinsic electric field. This enabled researchers to wirelessly connect their computers and electronics

Sierra Farris Blog
I've seen several people mentioned how good Sierra is at
DBS
programming. I agree she's been doing my programming for the past 5 months and we are almost there. Here is her blog on DVS which many may find helpful. http://www.dbsprogramming.com/author/dbsprogramming/

DBS update
It's 5 months since I underwent this procedure. I was programmed by my local neuro with some good results. However at my last visit she stated that I was doing great and should wait 8 weeks for follow up. I described my off times as increasing and my gait pretty poor from 6-9pm as dismally slow.

Left Leg Pain
Three years ago, I had very successful bilateral
DBS
surgery. For several years I have had left leg pain. I have had several cortisone injections in L4 and L5 also in my hamstring bursa. None have improved the pain. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Ritalin for gait freezing?
Had
DBS
surgery 4 1/2 years ago. The physical symptom that still gives me the most trouble -- not helped by either the meds or the surgery -- is gait freezing, and subsequent falling. My MD just prescribed a low dosage of Ritalin for this, and I haven't filled It yet.
