After deep brain stimulation
I began to slowly resume my life.
It is better than winning the EuroMillions!
I stopped squirming, I can dress myself,
I can walk and I dance again!

Parkison's diagnosis at 24 years.
I take very little medication
and I feel almost a normal person
and this is very good!
Deep brain stimulation has brought me
so many improvements that I end up looking for
hitting the "no" every day.
But whatever it's costs, it's really worth it.

I was reborn trough deep brain stimulation.
I thank God, the doctors and the technology
that gave me back quality of life,
faith and hope for the future!
Today I am more confident, more autonomous and happy.
I went back to fishing, discovered a taste for painting
and returned to poetry

After ten deep brain stimulation
all pains disappeared along with
many symptoms associated with the disease.
I was finally able to dance again!
Walking is no longer a problem and
the need for medication has dropped dramatically.
If asked for my biggest dream, this was it!

I gained a new life with the neurostimulator!
They have already recharged it and
I think that anyone who could should implant it:
I do not even notice it on a daily basis,
only the positive effects!

When I was diagnosed I couldn't take any steps.
Today I my life is more or less normal,
with only a few limitations.
I do speech therapy and group gymnastics at
the Portuguese Parkinson Patients Association.
I would do the DSS surgery again without hesitation.
