I had my 1st one in july of 2019 and was sedated through the whole procedure. The DBS helped tremendously with my tremors on my right side as well as some movement issues enough that I had my left side done in march of 2022 and was sedated this time as well. Getting the DBS operation on my left side has helped some but not nearly as much as my right. My neurologist had also told me that depending on where they place the lead hinders on how fast you will show progress and if you will be sedated or not. Progress can come very slowly so don't let it discourage you like it has me but am seeing improvement.

thank for your experience, encouraging ..

Good luck. Thanks for all the hugs 😃

Good to hear about your husband and the success of his operation. Will definitely look into it.

My husband is in the process of evaluation and very hopeful. So far is evaluations are positive. Very nice to hear of your husband's success.
