75 is max age for DBS This controlled by the US DEPT OF HEALTH AND FDA

Thank you so much. Very honest. I want to make my decisions with all the information that I can gather. you have been very helpful

I had DBS at age of 80. Don't know whether it was a good idea or not. Have not experienced much relief for my truncal dystonia.

Myrtle, the DBS surgery can reduce tremor , stiffness , slowness , wearing off spells and Dyskinesias. Handwriting may improve ,speech may become stronger and walking may be better . In my case I gain in all these areas but the speech.

Hi Sterling, I would say that age ii don't think is the question , rather they wait until the medications stop working . At least that is what they did with me. I am going to put together some information on this procedure and post it. Meantime , they can go to the Parkinson Disease Foundation they have a lot of good info.

But I don't mind answering any question. The only bad question is the one not asked.
