DBS do you know what it is?

What I read is

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that implants a pacemaker-like device under the skin to send electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain. It regulates abnormal signals to treat movement and psychiatric disorders when medications are no longer effective.What DBS TreatsParkinson's diseaseEssential tremorDystonia (muscle contractions)EpilepsyObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)Tourette syndromeSystem ComponentsElectrodes (leads): Thin, insulated wires placed in targeted brain regions through small skull openings.Extension wire: Routed under the skin of the head, neck, and shoulder.Pulse generator (neurostimulator): A battery-powered device implanted under the skin in the upper chest or collarbone area.Procedure Overview Brain surgery: Leads are placed in precise brain targets, often while the patient is awake to test electrical responses.Chest wall surgery: The battery-operated pulse generator is implanted under general anesthesia and connected to the brain leads.Programming: Weeks later, a specialist programs the device externally to optimize symptom relief.If you are exploring treatment options in the area, specialized neurological care and DBS evaluations are available at major regional facilities like Manipal Hospitals or Kauvery Hospital.If you'd like, let me know:What specific condition you are researching DBS forWhether you need help finding a specialized neurologist or neurosurgeon nearby

Energy level

Everyday after a stroke when I get up I feel like I have left with no energy to get up. I struggle with myself to get up and follow my morning routine at a pace one eighth the pace I used to have. But slowly I pick up and in the afternoon I am getting it to one fourth but evenings feel better with half the pace rest you all know. What about you all? How do you coop?

What keeps you motivated?

After the stroke my life almost came to a stand still. I was kept motivated by my faith and the sangat around me encouraging me that I can. The best part is my family was very supportive and positive. I would like to know what keeps others like me motivated to work hard.

Attitude change

I am 15 months from my stroke. I had left side was completely paralysed. Have improved a lot able to walk and run small errands. Still not completely working left hand for spasticity. I am thankful for the support my family provided and I believe I can't pay it back. These days the attitude of family has changed towards me they are irritated and their tone is as if I am not trying to get better. Sometimes I feel that I'm a burden for them. Can anyone suggest what to do.
