Experiencing negative symptoms after DBS for essential tremors?

Posted by fayrene @fayrene, 1 day ago

I have experienced the following symptoms since my DBS for non-Parkinson essential tremors: Extreme and constant pressure inside head. Brain feels swollen. Intermittent headaches 2-3 times per day. Face feels numb and swollen. Pain behind ears. Decreased senses of taste and smell. Vision blurry. Eyes very dry. Ears plugged and achy. Neck is stiff. Difficulty concentrating. Balance poor. I did not have these symptoms prior DBS. Can anyone advise/help? I have been this way for 6 months and getting desperate.
