I quickly read up on the effects that can occur when stimulation of the DBS battery stops completely or get interrupted: (photo of my implanted battery) - I know no one ever sees it cause I edit my scar and huge battery-bump out of my photos cause I feel embaressed for people to see :( Abrupt cessation of stimulation (for example, normal or premature battery depletion, component failure) should be avoided as it may cause a return of disease symptoms, in some cases with an intensity greater than was experienced prior to system implant (“rebound” effect). Adverse events related to the therapy, device, or procedure can include: stimulation not effective, cognitive disorders, pain, dyskinesia, dystonia, speech disorders including dysarthria, infection, paresthesia, intracranial hemorrhage, electromagnetic interference, cardiovascular events, visual disturbances, sensory disturbances, device migration, paresis/asthenia, abnormal gait, incoordination, headaches, lead repositioning, thinking abnormal, device explant, hemiplegia, lead fracture, seizures, respiratory events, and shocking or jolting stimulation.
