Grammykay,
Yes I had head tremor, forearms, hands, and with this surgery the head tremor is
100%gone. The procedure is called deep brain stimulation or DBS. Mine started
when I was in my 20's and slowly it got worse. I'm 66 now. I hope you can find a
cure too. None of the medications worked well but I know there are many out there.
Maybe one of them would work for you. Don't give up! I started to give up being with
people or doing things I liked...that's when I went for help. katsgotit

When did you have your first DBS?

Last June (1911) ad the second was in October (1911). Had my 6 month checkup
and all is just fine. This can really change your life and I would recommend it to
anyone.

A very personal question. I'll understand if you don't answer. Are you on Medicare and if so was the treatment covered.
