I have a friend who was taking it. Said it was quite expensive with his insurance, but he liked it. He had gait problems and freezing problems before, and never considered a DBS because they supposedly don't work for gait problems. I asked my specialist and she said if medication helps you, the DBS will help you. He got a DBS, and now has no dyskenesia. I had seen him almost fall down with severe dyskenesia. He's very happy with his DBS. I am happy with mine too. We went to different doctors, surgeons, and nurse practicioners who did the programming. I'm happy. The other day I realized I could roll over, and could get out of bed in the morning without pulling myself out. It's the first time in years I've been able to do that! My daughters tell me I look a lot better--facial expression and no "wobbling all over the place."

I started taking Rytary in November 2022.seemed to work for a while but I started having off time .2 weeks ago we increased my dose but I’m having off time still. I’m very frustrated. I’m in my 6th year with Pd and I read after 5 years this happens. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Anyone taking Nouranz
