Hi I have cervical dystonia my head was over to the right and facing downwards, I tried all sorts of medication and botox but it did not work. i had DBS last July I was in hospital 5 days and was off work for 3months recovery period is around 8 weeks. I have been back to London 3 times to have my battery turned up.The operation has been a great success my only concerns are I now suffer nausea, loss of appetite and have lost 4st in weight which is being investigated.Having DBS was the best thing I did.I returned back to work full time in October.
