I too would welcome an opportunity to discuss with you the results of your surveyPlease include me in this discussion, As I have not had dbs even after 12 years of PD and my life is not bad with good diet and exercise and good medi management. I dont know how long I can keep it up so eventually i may need to go for DBS.My Neuro consultant does not believe I should have dbs. He does not believe the down side is made known as we only hear of successes andrarely about the cabbages. I dont know what to do. My quality of life is too good to risk DBS just now and I wonder if with the right medication and supplements and good lifestyle management disciplines. I can continue to maintain a good quality of life at least for another few years and avoid the risk of being a statistic for DBs on the negative side.
