Today was my first day back to work. DBS was done in 10/28/08. I took1/2 Carbi/Levo 24/100 this morning and pumped my stimulater up 4 clicks both sides and away I went. And that was from 10 carbi/levo a day. A little tired but ready for another shot at tomorrow. My thoughts on DBS. It's the only way to go and if your one of those people sitting on the fence. Take a chance, what have you go to lose. I'm 60, feel like 30, look like I'm 40 My wife Shivonne said that I have more animation in my face then she has ever seem I don't believe what this surgery did for me. love to you all.
