DBS, has anyone considered this procedure to help with tremors?

I am scheduled to have this procedure next month. I have heard some good things from some PD patients and would like to hear other PD patient’s prospective.

My diagnosis was in early 2018. Right hand tremor, now taking 25/100 x 3 (3 times/day), my procedure will be on my left side.

Meds work, but tire me out 1/2 hr after taking them.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
