Thank you all for sharing your experience. I’m so glad that it has helped you. I’m hoping and praying it is as good for my husband.
To Sylvia, why twice?

My neurologist recommended that i was a candidate, i wish i would have done sooner! after almost a year i had two surgeries,
Firstly i did my research on the device and choose the Medtronic my implant date was may 03/2023 that was the first surgery in this 3 step process.
secondly i had a device generator installed in my chest and connected to my head
lastly after three months my numerologist turned it on ....
MY opinion it was amazing, all the exercising i was doing, i progressively got worse and worse . If i listen to everyone and took their advise i would still be having my wife help dress me .
This is not a cure however it is as close to normalcy as possible .
I can sleep again , text , ride a bike run, i am still a work in progress!
Prayers to all with PK
Best Always, john
