i just had this done on the 6th of april 2010 for essential tremors. the halo part was the only hassle. it has to be exacting and then the shots which they forgot to tell me about. f.... me did that part hurt. but once that was over everything went like clockwork. i was awake during the procedure and spoke with everyone like we were old friends. the second part for the stimulator comes on the 16th.
