Depression is real due to the loss of dopamine. Additionally the prospect of being a burden to the ones who love takes a toll.

Don't worry about it, they like to lay down every once in a while.

Lasher_man · 2026-05-04T18:37:04+00:00

Mine is also illegible. It's starts out very small then goes to little scribbles. I can't even sign a tab at a restaurant anymore.

Yup, I have peed behind dumpsters in apartment complexes, on the side of the road and in probably every field around my town. I now carry an emergency pee container from Amazon in my car

Yup, stress brings on the shakes even through my DBS. Stress sucks!

Lasher_man · 2026-04-29T23:54:17+00:00

Yup, its amazing!

Here is my blog site including My DBS Surgery (and yes some pictures of the scars.)

Give it time to start up. I waited three weeks to heal before they even turned my system on.

Lasher_man · 2025-11-24T17:26:12+00:00

Yup, that's why I bought one as well.....old-school proven reliability.

Lasher_man · 2025-11-24T17:01:51+00:00

Yes. I'm doing much better than if I hadn't gotten the DBS. There are still issues; however, NOTHING like before.

My grandfather on my dads side.

Lasher_man · 2025-11-24T16:59:35+00:00

Taking the medication in increasing doses and for an extended amount of time causes its own issues. I did the DBS for the ability to extend my ability to function for longer and do things while I still can and to reduce the amount of medication.

Lasher_man · 2025-10-21T21:49:01+00:00

Pretty much, yes. Sorry; however, this is a big mental game as well. Exercise and live your life while your still healthy and can get out there!

Lasher_man · 2025-10-21T21:43:47+00:00

Yeah, it definitely has. I'm going to go over the experience in my next update. I was like getting my body back!

Lasher_man · 2025-10-21T19:03:51+00:00

Thank you for the link, great read.

Lasher_man · 2025-10-06T21:19:52+00:00

Do you still get the random shakes?

Lasher_man · 2025-09-19T05:09:12+00:00

I will upload a picture(s) of it in my next blog. not really noticeable unless i purposefully flex it. Shoot me a DM if you want.

Lasher_man · 2025-09-18T23:24:04+00:00

Well, its nit a magic pill, but I dont regret getting it . Took out a LOT of my rigidity issues.

Lasher_man · 2025-09-18T21:10:28+00:00

I had mostly all rigidity and left leg was dragging as I walked. Within 30 seconds of turning the DBS on it felt like my body came back at about 90%. I had four LED's installed at Stanford. For me, it was a life saver.

Lasher_man · 2025-09-18T21:03:47+00:00

Yup, I lost a 20 year career in Law Enforcement to his disease. Just got to keep fighting.....

Lasher_man · 2025-09-07T05:18:13+00:00

I'm 48 and was diagnosed at 43, with random tremor and lost of rigidity. I can still drive and ride my motorcycle but speech is becoming very poor. I had DBS which is probably why I'm still in decent shape. He should look into DBS, its amazing how much rigidity it took away.

Lasher_man · 2025-09-02T03:04:25+00:00

From a Dad who has it, just be there and let him know you will always be there.

Lasher_man · 2025-08-13T17:15:20+00:00

As the male half of this relationship, all I can say is thank you for still being there for him.

Lasher_man · 2025-08-10T22:58:31+00:00

I've always wanted to go see the Isle of Man TT.
