zandopa's choices?
I discovered zandopa before
DBS
and I almoSt cancelled my
DBS
surgery (wish I had done it, because if something goes wrong surgeons have no clue about how to fix it; I got severe gait disturbances), because the blend zandopa and forced cycling were decreasing my symptoms significantly and my off time

Is the DBS operation painful?
I am scheduled for the
DBS
operation in Dallas on 4/24/2013. My neurosurgeon says I will be awake but will have a local anesthetic. Can anyone who has undergone the procedure let me know how traumatic it might be. I am 67 years old and a bit nervous about the prospect of the drilling into my skull.

Car accident and DBS
I received a
DBS
"makeover" as Dr. Jill reprogrammed me. She tried different settings and found what works for me. Since the car accident in January, I have been sluggish, taking naps in mid morning and after 3pm daily.

), which electrifies regions deeper in the brain, below the cortex, can affect the cortex, itself.

New DBS Electrodes
Deep Brain Stimulation (
DBS
), which consists of electrically stimulating the central or peripheral nervous system, is currently standard practice for treating Parkinson's, but it can involve long, expensive surgeries with dramatic side effects.
