Has Anyone Who Has Dyskenesia Had Anything Help This Other Than DBS
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have severe dyskenesia but cannot afford to have the DBS operation.
My doctor has reduced my medication slightly to see if that can help?
Has anyone been successful in reducing the dyskenesia without surgery
As I am starting to trip on myself when it is severe.
