If your symptoms are well controlled by meds and you don't have tremor, you are probably not ready to take the plunge. I doubt if I would have ever had it if my tremor had not gone bilateral. I was 67 at the time and decided maybe I shouldn't wait until I was older to do it. Your age my be a factor you'll want to consider. It has been 7 years and one NT replacement in 1997 and I can barely speak. My neuro tells me it is due to the DBS. It was after I had it in 2003 that the voice problems began. However, I'll never know if its not PD. Whatever you do, good luck.
