@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - from what I've read, DBS works best for people who have bad tremors and dyskinesia. If those are interfering with your daily life and the dopamine pills are no longer as effective, then you might be ready for DBS. It doesn't help for cognitive issues and some of the other non-motor problems.
