I am considering this "procedure" but i feel I need to hear the real story first` hand from an experienced person. What did they (your medical team, i.e.:neorologist, surgeon) say, which symptoms would improve` change dissapear? Did they? What are the results? How do you feel about DBS overall now?

I think this procedure is not commonly performed. In case you don’t find anyone, you may have a good idea from this site-

You have not mentioned indication for it in your case.
Good luck!
