DBS Surgery
Had
DBS
in July this year. Seen Dr. twice for tweaking of the electrical currant. So far it seems to be a trade off of symptoms. Controls tremors (a blessing) but now having trouble walking, some slurred speech, ridigity. All of these were in the backgroud and minimal before.

DBS - Criteria of Suitability of Patients in NHS care
For PD patients, what symptoms and any other relevant criteria are considered before a PD patient to be considered a good or suitable candidate for a
DBS
operation on the NHS? Also I wonder how that varies with a country / health care system that is funded privately?

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.
