On Monday I got turned on. The results are better than I can Imagined. I have stopped shaking. No more tremors, No more stiffness, No more dyscaneasas I have been very emotional over the success. I relate it to a car that rattles and some mechanic friend finally fixes it and no more rattle and you love your car again. I thank god for finding me the surgeons and the medical team at Mt Sinai nyc, and the creators at Medtronics who had the vision that such technology was possible. My experience with DBS is the stuff of story books I was chicken shit scared of having holes drilled in my head while I was awake, But the results have helped me to forget the recovery from Sedated MRI, and surgeries So many trips to the hospital. After DBS was turned on I had a chance to visit the Surgical team and the nurses who cared for me To show them how great my results are. This result makes me feel 20 years younger. I got the best holiday present of everybody every where. I am no longer a slave to PD I feel free. Best wishes to all on Daily Strength for a happy and healthy new year and thank you for the support over the past years.With LOve and gratitude Alex
