have any of you fine folk undergone DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation)?

No this isn't an offer to join a new thought-control experiment but a serious question about a legit medical procedure.

Be interesting to read how this works out for you.

Unfortunately yes, for Parkinson's. And after I get thru the surgeries I'll update progress.
