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.

Science news for March 4 about DBS
The new work also shows how deep brain stimulation (
DBS
), 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.

Car accident after DBS surgery
I had Medtronics check the
DBS
and all was fine. Since the accident many of my pre
DBS
symptoms are returning. My quality of life is not the same as prior to the accident. Dr. Jill did some minor reprogramming and said the symptoms would go away with time. They continue to increase.

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), good, bad or useless?
I know
DBS
is down the line but I'd like to try all non-surgical avenues first There appear to be no interactions with current meds or significant side effects. It seems worth a try.
