I had DBS surgery in 2020. I was treated for Scoliosis and Dystonia. I wasn't diagnosed with Parkinson's until 2024. However, I don't have the tremors associated with Parkinson's. I do stumble and my voice has changed, but my hands are steady. I highly recommend the surgery to anyone that suffers from Parkinson's.

Hello @shambunny and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I appreciate you posting about your journey with various health issues. I'm really glad to hear that the DBS procedure was helpful to you.
You mentioned that your voice has changed. Can you describe what type of changes you have noticed? Have you had any speech therapy to address the voice issues?
