Last night I turned off my DBS and proved (again) the efficacy of cannabis as a medicine. My voice was so weak when I arrived home (from visiting the NHNN in London) late last night, that my wife suggested that I turn it off to see if my voice was any better without it. The difference is instantly noticeable – my voice is stronger, and my tremor comes back with a vengeance! I vape a little cannabis, and within 5 minutes my tremor has eased a little. Within 15 minutes it is completely under control. When we go to bed my wife has to ask me if I’ve still got my DBS switched off (I had) – in fact I left it switched off all night, only switching it back on when I awoke this morning because of the severe tremor in my legs. I change my neurostimulator to use group “A” settings, and then turn the left and right voltages down to the minimum (left side is now 2.50v, right side is 2.05v) – tremor control isn’t 100%, and I have some dystonia in my right foot, but it’s tolerable so I’ll leave it like that for 24 hours or so and see how I feel.
