Dear Paula - I'd appreciate learning more about how you progressed since you first realized that you had a problem that turned out to be Parkinson''s. What problems were you having that helped you to make the decision to have the DBS. If you can, please describe pre and post of the operation as well as the surgery itself. (Did you have to have your head shaved?) Would you do it all over again now that you know what you went through and have the results been what you had expected. I would appreciate the same information from anyone else out there who has had the surgery. I'm trying to determine if it is something I should do.
