Hello Nann,
Dbs is scary but the results outweigh the fear however if someone wasn't scared of dbs I would be worried. Result is distonia completely under control and no stiff painful joints and no tremor apart from intermittently it's the ultimate control we can throw at our pd and no time to soon for it but once you feel your not getting from your meds what you need and your Drs cannot add to them or adjust your dosage to help you then need to push for it. Bewear though if your memory is impaired badly or you have depression you will not be able to have it done as it can make both problems worst especially if it doesn't work. It is not successful for all so go into it with an open mind xx
