Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease 

Dear Andy, I'm 20 years older than your daughter, but learned so much from her grace and strength in dealing with a parent with Parkinson's. My own dad was recently diagnosed and tonight has been a particularly emotional evening for me. Luckily, I stumbled across your videos. They have helped me feel so much better, more hopeful and at peace. I sincerely hope you and your amazing family are doing well.

I am so happy for him. And I love the strong relationship that he has with his daughters.

I was diagnosed in 2006.. 50 years old, I have 2 stimulators 2017 and 2018... DBS kept me from killing myself.

I'm so glad that it helped him. His relationship with his daughters is so lovely, I'm very happy for this family that this treatment could help restore some quality of life. :)

"And the other thing I've got back is my smile..." Holy hell that was earth-shattering. I didn't even realize until that point that he never really smiled.

So glad to see it has made such an impact. I hope he is still doing well 😊

it's awesome to see a positive outcome for Andy and his family. though i wish we got to see more after the procedure of how the procedure affected his life. update video?

Such a remarkable family - with a sister about to go through this surgery at a similar age with similar symptoms...this has been incredibly helpful! So happy for Andy and his family and praying the same will be true for my sister soon.

This made me sad and happy all at the same time. My wife at 59 was just diagnosed with PD...i must admit I am scared and in denial at the same time. I see changes a spouse would only see. I pray there must be a cure soon.

This is a beautiful story. I am so happy for him and his lovely family.

Dad of the year!

Thank you for sharing! I'm 47 and have had Parkinson's for 7 years now, I'm hoping to get DBS soon, my tremors have got much worse.

So happy for him and for them.

What an amazing man!! this touched my heart, wow!! i hope he is okey and happy

*Thank God for science!*

You are our inspiration!!

My husband had DBS in 2012. It was quite miraculous for 3 years but it can't keep up with the progression of the disease. 😪

not every dbs surgery ending happily. i got dbs 3 years ago. 3 years doctors try to find suitable program for me. and now i fell not good and doctors said my battery finish. i am going battery replacement after tomorrow. so i spend miserable 3 years. i am not regret to get dbs but i'm not happy result too.

Great stuff.

Amazing. So happy for him

Tremor In Parkinson’s “It also appears to be the case that tremor is the only symptom of Parkinson’s disease that may improve on its own - some who had severe tremors have seen them virtually disappear over the period of a decade. Tremors also rarely continue to worsen beyond a certain point - at some point the tremor will plateau.” For more information go to Facebook Group: Parkinson's thiamine hcl

Nco im said fr the girls, especially when the older 1 cried😭

MY YOUNGER IS 34 AND HE HAVE PARKINSON DISEASE. I CHECK WITH ALL THE DOCTOR BUT ALL OF THEM GIVE US MEDICATION . WHICH DOES NOT WORK.

God is good I'm happy for him that all is well seeing how much of a different it made with surgery

Do you sill have to take LevoDopa?

Funny that most illness is lifestyle related yet, Drs never seem to make the connection.
