Tony I had 2 bilateral DBSs in 2003 and last month got a taste and reminder of what life is like for me without it when my stimulators died. I never got relief from medication, so it was a lifesaver for me; however, if meds had worked I doubt I would have had it done. People get different results so you need to decide for yourself. I want a cure in the form of a vaccine. Good luck. -------------------------------------------------- From: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, September 10, 2010 8:11 AM To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Intoduction and Deep Brain stimulation > > > Hi Tony.
