DBS Surgery “Awake or Asleep” that is the question?
I’ve heard from many on this site about success stories of
DBS
my question to the group is weather I should do the awake or Asleep method during surgery. I’ve read all the pros and cons of both just curious with what the group thinks.

I have had several requests to update my status since my surgery on December 15. I will be going to the doctor to adjust my voltage on Tuesday and would like to defer until then. My neuro advises that it takes 3 weeks for the full impact of each adjustment to take place. The amount of meds I need

Post Surgery Day Number 18 - How wonderful this is! My neuro gave me the okay today to adjust my regulator. Went from 1.9 to 2.0 on the right side (can choose which side and more or less "juice") and I went from feeling like a frozen lump of dough to getting up and working in my office for half an

This will be short, as I have orders to rest my brain. Because I still have a small bookkeeping business, I have to make sure my clients are taken care of before I can post here. I am doing well. I want to thank all of you who sent messages of encouragement. My regulator is turned on, and the program

Happy 2018
I’m planning on
DBS
scheduled for February and like most of you trying to make it through this stressful season and sometimes it seems overwhelming even to say something meaningful or to write a simple letter to my children or grandkids. Not many can understand but you all know what I mean.

Is DBS good idea while PD still moderate?
Went to new PD doc (old one moved) who said that even though my motor symptoms are still moderate and on one side, I would be good candidate for
DBS
. I thought that treatment was reserved for people in later stages. Anyone have any insight on this?

Tomorrow is my day! The laundry is done, floors are swept, my clients are taken care of until later next week, and my daughter will be here from out of town this afternoon. I am at peace. No regrets about anything. Merry Christmas songs and the William Tell Overture are running through my mind!

DBS SURGERY
With my
DBS
surgery scheduled for bright and early on December 15th, I have to say that the last nine months have passed quickly. I sometimes regret taking a year to make my decision that
DBS
was not only an option, but a "must do" for me.
