Dear Doorman, I'm not sure the basis of your comment about DBS, or how current your information is, but DBS is not something new, it has been done for decades and I have encountered a number of patients who spoke most positively about their outcomes, one was my primary care doc himself.

A newer alternative surgical intervention is focused ultrasound which in less invasive but unlike DBS is not reversible should unwanted side effects occur. I think if you have tremor dominant PD, as I do, you should have another talk with your medical team about the current state of DBS as drug therapy is less effective and can have its own array of side effects. Good luck to you.
