Central Valley in California

Has anyone who has had DBS seen any improvement in swallowing, balance, or memory?

It mainly improves your motor skills, not so much memory, and swallowing. It's good for tremors walking, bike riding, etc.

Thank you! Dr keeps pushing hubby to have it done, but we are most concerned about these issues rather than the motor skills. We are just trying to decide if it's worth it if it's not going to help these areas.
