Rapid decline after DBS?
I've tried to tell him to give the
DBS
time, explain that perhaps the surgery and all the anesthesia and pain meds had a negative effect on his symptoms and he needs to wait until he's recovered from surgery to really see what the
DBS
will be like.

Does anyone suffer from upper back pain with IBS?
Along with IBS I have constant stiffness between my shoulder blades.. I told the doctor and he tested my liver and gallbladder.. guess that is a cue for something more seriou; however, that came out normal.. I am just curious if any of you experience upper or lower back discomfort along with your GI

Anyone else been prescribed Co-beneldopa for RSL?
Hi all, I hope you are all as well as can be. As per the thread title has anyone else been prescribed Co-beneldopa for RLS, as I have just been. I have been trying to get by without extra meds, as I take enough for my fibromyalgia & other things, but it was proving to be a fight I couldn't win so after

My husband has ringing in the ears. Has had DBS for over a year now. It seems to get worse when Dr. changes settings. Anyone else?
His E.N.T. also said it is due to
DBS
. His neurologist said no and then changed his answer to yes it could be. Still can't figure out what to do to help my husband get rid of ringing. Any helpful advice?

Can the physical presence of electrodes from DBS have any effect, even if turned off?
I've had
DBS
turned off and batteries removed because of infection. It remains to be seen if it gets completely removed or tried again once when all possible signs of infection are gone.

DBS! STN vs. PPN
I understand that
DBS
in the STN helps with resting tremors. My husband does not having resting tremors, (therefore
DBS
in the STN is not recommended) more issues related to rigidity, balance, and gait.
