Someone very close to me is going to need DBS Surgery and I'd love to hear from anyone who knows something about this personally. What was the result and how long the recovery?

I know someone who had it . His results were horrible. He had a mild stoke , somthing with his heart and he almost died. he got pneumonia. He had to go to rehabilitation hospital for a while . He was worse after the surgery. It did not lessen the shaking. But that is not true for every one.Not trying to scare you that is the only person i know that has had it. Have seen on tv people that had good results. best wishes, jingles

i took care of a patient who had it done for tourettes and he left before we got to see the results.
