I wake with tremor in my left leg, which is a tad annoying. I try to ignore it, but by lunchtime I’m fed up with it so I decide to increase the voltage on the left side. I increase the voltage by several increments until I feel that the tremor is under control (so now the left side is receiving 2.50 volts, the right side remaining at 2.25 volts)
I decided not to turn my DBS off the last couple of nights because, although I get off to sleep okay, if I wake up during the night after the cannabis has worn off, then I wake with severe tremor and cannot get back to sleep again without switching my DBS on again (or taking some more cannabis) and at 3am or 4am it’s the last thing that I want to be doing. If my voice gets any worse (and I can get an improvement by turning my DBS off at night) then I reserve the right to change my mind…
