Like 34 I will be going for this surgery in 2021 I'm only 43 years old and terrified to get it done

[@andyy6481]

can you update us on your surgery, thanks, I hope all works out for you!

[@suddendee]

Hope it works out 💪🏼

[@SpeedyWings2323]

How did it go? Any update?

[@peterwillhite4739]

I had the surgery done in May 2018 at age 60. It was the best thing for me. I still take the medication but it has helped me get my mobility back. I am tremor free.

[@SpeedyWings2323]

@@peterwillhite4739 amazing!!

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

I just want to give him a great big manly bearhug and congratulate him for the success of this modern miracle.

[@TheMuslimMedic1]

amazing

[@mickvanwes]

Looks like STN DBS. Do you still take any medication? Did you manage to stop meds completely after surgery? What meds, and how many doses a day were you taking before DBS?

[@Ouski]

I'm only 27 and I might need to get this. Pretty much everything else hasn't worked.

[@Rup869]

It seems worth it. Theyre looking at using it for eating disorders too.

[@k-drama_kpop_fan]

How are you

[@Ouski]

@@k-drama_kpop_fan a little better. Doctors have not recommended dbs to me even after I asked about it so that is something I have not done.

[@ferrariunicorn]

A good question would be How Are You Feeling Emotionally Right Now - I'm overjoyed for him and others!! I wonder if this helps with CPTSD bc I'm so exhausted from my brain and feel like at 50 it's negatively affecting my memory worse than ever and won't be reversible 😭

[@lorenzomaximo1818]

I’m 73 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2016. But I believe I’ve had it since 2010. I started to develop tremors in my hand. I’m a Vietnam veteran was exposed to Agent Orange. I don’t think I’m ready for DBS yet, but my disease is rapidly advancing. Becoming more and more stiff every day and have a hard time walking my Sinemet does not seem to be working very good anymore. I’m extremely depressed and have a lot of anxiety. What a debilitating disease. I just don’t know what to do.😢

[@austinmiller8695]

Oh please find a way to get DBS if you can I bet depression and all of that can be stemming from your ability to do less than usual

[@lorenzomaximo1818]

Yes, it is. I’ve lost interest in all my hobbies. And I have some great ones. I’ve had all my life. I have pamphlet on DBS in my neurologist said that it’s not for everybody so I guess it’s a real crapshoot.

[@Dawnside-g7l]

@@lorenzomaximo1818yeah based of my research DBS is not for everyone in fact there’s a highly risk of stroke after the procedure have had done! Think about it first before have it done these major procedures are irreversible when the body haven’t responded well!

[@lorenzomaximo1818]

Thanks I agree. I don’t intend to get TBS as I’ve decided it is too risky. I’m met a guy in the grocery store. and he had D.B.S. he didn’t care for it was giving him a lot of problems.So I’m writing that technique off. I don’t know what to do next.

[@MotherMoon1]

[@keitymarley733]

Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine from Dr Madida that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms completely💯…My Dad is well again💫

[@yuiopoli9601]

Amazing!

[@branars3804]

[@philip0987]

Incredible... this is what our medical teams should be doing... Not drugging the population i support of pharma companies

[@claudiosalib774]

Is Michael J. Fox aware of this medical technology? ☝️😮

[@Dawnside-g7l]

His done of that DBS but probably it didn’t work well for him tho! Every persons has a unique to surface the response of the treatments specifically a major procedure like DBS but unfortunately it’s not 100 percent guaranteed outcome for every patients facts!

[@Lizzel809]

Holy fuck that's awesome

[@avikdas888]

So we basically are robots.

[@Dawnside-g7l]

If a person has have done this kind of procedure if it works amazing well it’s fortunate but unfortunately not every patients have had done would get a positive results however a person has a pacemaker technologist in his/her body would controlled by the tech robot for the rest of their lives facts
