apomorphine, anyone on this?
Also been offered
DBS
done all the tests and stuff but wanted to try apomorphine before
DBS
. the AbbVie levodopa pump is only available if you are not suitable for
DBS
due to it being a new expensive treatment. which i find surprising i would've thought
DBS
is the last option. thanks guys

DBS. Did it improve your life as much as you hoped?
Can anyone reading this who has had the surgery give me their honest thoughts as to whether the
DBS
surgery has improved them and If so how? Cheers

Meds not working well again
The neurologist is suggesting
dbs
and doesn't seem interested in working with the meds anymore. My husband doesn't want
dbs
, and I am trying to find out what do people do when meds don't work anymore? What else can be done that's not invasive? Thanks for any help 🙏

DBS operation
I’ve been approved by Kaiser for a
DBS
(Deep Brain Stimulation) operation for my MS/essential tremors. Would like to talk to someone who’s had the same operation.

Very interesting video on controversial issues regarding managing Parkinson’s at different stages (from 2 guys that seem smart).
; (6) Should deep brain stimulation (
DBS
) be offered earlier in PD rather than later? If so, how early?

I’m scheduled to have DBS surgery February 29 - if you have had DBS, is there anything you wish you‘d known beforehand?
I want to prepare mentally (and physically) for the surgery, and would appreciate any input from members of this community who have had the experience of
DBS
surgery. Thank you in advance. Wayne

DBS awake or under general anesthesia
I've been told that for my
DBS
operation I will be under general anesthesia. I'm just wondering what others have experienced.

DBS: Medtronic question re. voice
Things went ok until about February this year: I felt that my off times were too marked in comparison to what
DBS
declared it would achieve and so a week ago, had another appointment with my ‘team’.
