Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's

@lisalucier Thanks for reaching out. My friend is not doing well. The initial DBS had no effect, so the surgeons thought they would go in a reposition something. She had her first programming session for the re-do last week to no effect. I'm going crazy, not able to help (I live over an hour away and have had ortho problems, including knee replacement and revision.) What I'm trying to find out is whether it's realistic to expect improvement. I saw her over the weekend and honestly? If it were me I'd end my life. I've never seen anything like and of course I remember us as wild and free 20somethings.
