I still want to have DBS. They turned me down and said I have to wait 6 months. having to see a GI doctor for my stomach issues and the next time I am retested they want me off my medication for 3 days. It seems my Extended Release medication stays in my body a long time. 12 hours was not long enough to show symptoms. I was disappointed but I think it was for the best for now. I live 3 hours from my Doctor. I would like the Boston Scientific also but I am not sure if I can go back alot of times for them setting it up. Time will tell.
I’m sorry to hear that Wendy, It’s a shame that nobody told you the extended release would require you to be off your meds for a longer period. In the whole scheme of things six months is not that long.
