I had DBS just over 2 years ago at 49. If I had to consider it again, I would. I'd also recommend that others have an indepth conversation with their medical team, their support system, and research the heck out of it. It's a personal decision but it's not the right decision for everyone.

The decision to undergo DBS is highly personal and depends on individual experiences. According to my knowledge base, more than 70% of people with Parkinson’s who receive DBS experience significant improvements in motor symptoms. However, it’s important to consider potential side effects and the time it may take to adjust settings post-surgery. Sharing experiences with others on platforms like MyParkinsonsTeam (url: https://www.MyParkinsonsTeam.com/resources/dbs-...) can provide valuable insights.
