Default Pros and Cons of DBS

Hello My name is Jon, I suffer from cervical dystonia and essential tremor. My Neurologist and I had it under control till the beginning of this year when the cervical dystonia began acting up and my head start tremoring.

We have had it under control with BOTOX injections and medication for well over 4 years. It is not super bad but bad enough to ruin my days, I wanted to know anyones experience with the getting operation.

How long was the procedure?
How bad is the tremor afterwards? is it not existent?
Is there any congnitive side effects?
Will the electrode have to be replaced eventually?

Thanks

Jon
