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.

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.

Musical abilities post DBS
I have recently underwent
DBS
and it seams that my percussion skills have improved. I have played drums most of my life but only as an a amateur. Currently I don't have a drum kit but my son does so I'm planning to challenge myself on his kit instead of playing my thighs and the floor!

A sad day
I m just writing to let all you know MY husband of 27 yrs died , He was such a good man and he didn't care if I had Parkinson, my clothes inside out or my head shaved for
DBS
surgery. He was such a loving man. I haven't been alone for 30 yrs.

Flaxseed & IBS
Hi, I think looking back I suffered with undiagnosed IBS as a teenager but grew out of it if that's possible. After a horrible attack back in November and having a scan (I was convinced it was an ovarian cyst) was diagnosed with IBS! I was advised to take Flaxseed every day, but have just read on another

DBS - But new aches develop for many, researchers report
A team led by Dr. Beom Jeon, from the Seoul National University Hospital, studied the long-term effects of deep brain stimulation on pain in 24 Parkinson patients. The researchers measured patients' pain before surgery and eight years later. Sixteen of the patients experienced pain before surgery when

Deep brain stimulation for pain?
Hi, I was just wondering if any One has had, or been referred for
DBS
surgery for chronic pain? My neurologist has just referred me, but due to the cost of it he said it might be a fight with my GPs, and commissioner to have it done.

DBS - STN or GPi?
I have been told by my neuro-team that STN
DBS
would be risky due to some bouts of depression I had last year and also the compulsive behavioural episodes I suffered while on Pramipexole. They have recommended GPi
