Difficulty walking, using my hands didn't improve but it is hard to say what I'd be like 3 years later without it. I don't take any PD meds. DBS has a wide range of failure/success from brain infections and no help at all to almost getting your life back and/or reduction of meds. My ocular migraines stopped after the DBSs. Last year I fell twice but that seems to have ceased although I do still have balance problems.
