Default DBS and stiffness vs. tremor

All of these comments have been extremely helpful. In just those few posts I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge.

One more question, however.

Originally my tremor is what was most irritating. Now my tremor is pretty much under control but when I'm "off" , my stiffness is unbelievably debilitating. And I'm not using the word "debilitating" lightly! Does anyone know if the surgery helps mostly those with a tremor and/or is it equally effective for those with stiffness?
