Have not had DBS nor will I as I was told I was too old (70). Plus I am still only mildly affected by PD (thank the good Lord).

Has anyone ever had the follow up results that I had after my Pfizer second shot. following that last shot I had eight days of no Parkinson’s disease syndrome‘s. What do you make of this? Has anyone else had the same experience?

Hi Bean,
I charge de battery once a week and the remote control once a month. I take the remote control with me only when I have I have a surgery in case to check if the stimulator was gone off.
