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

If you suffer from freezing, do you also have a problem with dyskinesia.?
I have not experienced any of the dyskinesia problems thus far. I hope this provides some help.
