To Those Who Have Had DBS. Has It Improved Your Sleeping? Also Anyone Have DBS Surgery For Longer Then 15 Years?
Just want to know the pros and cons especially on battery life and maintenance.
My sleeping has improved 100%.. Before surgery I was awake every 3 hours, shaking, needing a tablet. I as taking slow release Madopar, but it didnt do much. NowI wake once, maybe 4.30 gor a pill and a wee, Life has changed fof thd better. X
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member not yet but soon
So I'm a good candidate. I guess there are different ways of doing the procedure I will be put to sleep all but 15 min of the surgery. What a relief my dad was awake through his whole procedure. I will be given the c5 battery hoping to have both sides done but I guess ultimately it's the docs choice to do both sides at once or one at a time. The doctors assistant was very helpful kristan from evergreen health in Seattle Washington. I'm excited!!!
hi wayne.
warmest greetings from England!
I had my surgery nov2016. Then6 weeks wait before switchon. I am still being tuned. As there are more wires in the new models it means there are more sites of the brain to stimulate. Mine has 8 wires the older models only 4. It means fine tuning is possible. All my tremor has gone apart from my feet!!! working on that next.. hugs N
