I was diagnosed with young onset PD 13 years ago. Never had tremors. Mine was more of a slowness.

I actually don’t know the window for when they won’t do DBS. I do know you can not have any memory problems, because they wake you up in the middle of the surgery to ask you questions.

Your the brave person! To go on this way.

I needed to know that my doctor was well qualified. Since she created the DBS department over 10 years ago, that gave me my faith in her.

Hi. I was diagnosed in 2012. I had an extremely difficult time with the shakes, the dr here suggested DBS surgery. You have a have the disease for at least 5 years and go through av6 hr memory test to qualify. I’m 2017 I had the surgery. I no longer shake. I know it’s scary, but over rated because the results are so worth it!
