Does it work for you? This unit is used so you dont have to have it programmed by a doctor. The unit will sense when you need an adjustment and make it for you without the help of a doctor. Thought this sounded interesting. Anyone have one? Bean

I love having my DBS. I now don’t have to take PD meds. It’s nice knowings that. I’m almost living my life without PD. Good luck to anyone that decides to have a DBS.
