Had the procedure done in April 2019. Was diagnosed with PD in 2007. The DBS really helped with the dystonia and dyskinesia. Some of my close friends tell me now that they can hardly tell that I have parkinsons. Did not help so much with the slowness. (bradykinesia). But that could just be an adjustment to the system. I see my movement disorder specialist next month. All in all, I am much better off now than I was a year ago.

The dispersible madopar is taken in water and so starts to work faster than a capsule.
I have been wondering about Neupro patches . Do they help.
I take magnesium every morning. No idea whether it helps but at least not doing me any harm
