Dear Members, I am putting out some feelers to see if any of you have had your DBS in the STN redone to correct placement and have a completely new track...this time correct, perfect placement. My main questions: 1. Did it take longer for good, successful programming of the new electrode placement than the first time. If so, would you attribute that to healing of the old track plus the new? (With perfect placement this time, no benefit is there in my case yet) 2. While you were waiting for the programming to become effective, did you find it necessary to take more medicine...even more than before you had the corrective surgery? (Now taking nearly as much as before the original surgery three years ago) 3. Did you find that your "offs" were pretty bad, and that once again protein was affecting your meds to the point of being awful like before you had the electrode placed (albeit less than in optimum position) the first time? 4. Were you concerned that you made the wrong decision to correct the placement of the electrode? Thank you for your input, Concerned, but still hoping at week four out from the corrective surgery ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
