Hello @dgt1978 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I appreciate you sharing about your DBS experience at Mayo Clinic. As the surgery was just a few months ago, I'm wondering how you are doing now.
What PD symptoms were you experiencing that were helped by the DBS procedure? Are you still having adjustments made?

Hi, Teresa! I am doing well 6 weeks post my adaptive DBS GPi activation. I no longer have rigidity, bradykinesia nor foot dystonia. I feel like an iron coat has been lifted off my shoulders. Today I have had my second programming session which went really well.
