Hi, It is now 15 weeks since my DBS, which as I wrote in my earlier post, was different to standard DBS in that it targettedf the PPN area of my brain, controlling gait and movement, as opposed to the STN . I can now say with confidence that the procedure has been a success.I now walk without falling ( both when on meds and off meds ) and I can pass through doorways without freezing, and I can initiate movement easily. All things considered I am very pleased with the outcome .
