I hope that the programming is going well after your DBS. How are you feeling?

I had the first programming done 9-30; while in the neurologist's office, she gradually increased the intensity and i responded better with the higher intensity, she was very please. When I got home, I noticed my walking is difficult again , I had a hard time making a step forward despite regular exercise and staying on the same meds, so it was disapointing. Called my neurologist yesterday, unfortunately she wasn't in her office. I could only wait and see. If my condition doesn;t worsen, I hope it'll improve more with the next adjustment. i heard it may take several times to optimize the setting, so i'm keeping my hope up. It'll be nice to be able to walk normally again.
