Hello,

My sister Sasha was diagnosed with PD 4 years ago but has deteriorated rapidly. She suffers from extreme rigidness and her speech had been greatly affected. She is using rotigotine patches called nubrenza and madopar 100 levodopa cardivopa 5 times a day 2 pills every day. We are now looking into dbs but her dr says since her pd has been affecting more her nervous system and speech it is uncertain on the benefits she will get.

Any patiens out there with rigid pd that have benefitted from dbs
