On a chilly Thursday in December, Nick Pernisco woke up from his Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery with a few new holes in his head -- and a whole new lease on life with Parkinson's.


In the follow up to his best-selling Parkinson's Warrior: Fighting Back and Taking Control, Nick takes you on an intimate, first-person journey through the full DBS experience. With candor and humor, Deep Brain Stimulation: A Journey to Relief offers inspiration and accessible information on what you need to know about DBS, what to expect along each step of the way, and the renewed possibilities for life after DBS.


If you or your loved one is considering DBS, but you're unsure, or scared, or just want to know more, this book is for you.


From the Introduction


On December 6th, 2018 I underwent Deep Brain Stimulation surgery to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. My first symptoms had appeared in 2009, so it was almost exactly nine years later that I would go under the drill and knife to get some relief. I had some apprehension at first - I mean, it's brain surgery - but I'm glad I went through with it. Although DBS was not a cure for Parkinson's, the surgery set back the clock on my symptoms about 10-12 years.
In this sequel to the original Parkinson's Warrior book, I detail the circumstances that lead me to consider Deep Brain Stimulation, the essential details about what the surgery does and how it works, and a first-hand account of my own surgery. Just like in the original Parkinson's Warrior book, I pull no punches. I give you every detail, no matter how frightening it might sound. My hope is that, after reading this book, Deep Brain Stimulation won't sound so frightening. The reason I wrote this book is to demonstrate that an option exists to alleviate Parkinson's symptoms, and that people with Parkinson's do not have to lose hope when their symptoms worsen. I had Deep Brain Stimulation surgery to give me time to live my life more normally until a cure for Parkinson's is discovered. The second part of this book involves my life after DBS surgery. I discuss some expectations I had about the surgery, how I felt after surgery, and how having a Warrior mentality helped me adjust to a new normal. I hope this second section will inspire you and make you think about your life, remembering that we only get one shot at life, so we better make the most of it. Finally, I hope that by reading this book, you will consider having DBS. It's brain surgery, but it's not so scary, and it will absolutely change your life. I've gotten my life back thanks to DBS, and so I'm happy to sing its praises from the rooftops. I look forward to you joining me on this journey as I recount my story. And please, if you ever have any questions or need guidance to help find the right information for you, write to me since I'd love to hear from you: [email protected].

Comfy Hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Mg03- Splatter1
This brand makes some decent stuff. This is a nice thinner hoodie with some stretchy materials and a cool splatter design. Comfy and easy to move in/ use for active occasions or just for chillin. Very versatile. Color doesn’t fade or hasn’t yet for me and I like the contrasting drawstrings. Size is right on; I ordered a size up and there’s plenty of room for layering. However if you put anything heavy in the front pocket, like a wallet, the material will give way and sag.

Buy it.
Size: Large, Color: Mg03- Ethnic
I dont leave many reviews, because life. However, this pullover deserves a review. Yes, it is big. Normally I would wear an XL but ordered a L based off sizing and reviews. The L is a hair big but I love the way it fits and its comfy.bthe color and quality is great. It is a little warm with the fleece lining, so it will be worn inside until fall, ir on cool summer evenings. I bought 2 and may buy more.

Big guy, big smiles!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Mg03- Ethnic
I picked two different patters of these lightweight hoodies for golfing and they're now an everyday item! Active wise, these stretch in every direction while moving without friction. I wore this hoodie for the first seven holes before the sun broke through the clouds without noticing it. My only concern, while premature is the stiching on the sleeves. I felt the loops catching the velcro on my glove a few times, but after 7 holes, and 20+ shots, I didn't see any sign of abrasion. I'm a big guy, 6'4" 290# I usually wear a XLT shirt and picked these up as XXL. Wasn't swimming in them, they fit nicely and fell in line with the hem of my shirt. I plan to buy several more!
