When DBS Appears To Be Working Well, Does It Also Increase Fatigue?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Had DBS surgery about a year ago. Been off all meds for 8 months. Movement has improved significantly but I tire out more easily. Wondering if DBS can lead to brain burn out.

Yes, my dad had DBS and he would nap a couple of times during the day. However he was still on some medication, so not sure if it was due to meds or DBS.
