New HIFU procedure on Long Island helps treat essential tremors

There's new hope for more than 10 million Americans who suffer from essential tremors, a nervous system disorder that causes parts of your body to shake. CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reports on what's being called a life-changing treatment.

I am still trying other things for my tremors, but this MRI Focused Ultrasound (MFU) seems like the only thing that will really work. Although I'm not ruling out Cala Trio yet either.

I was born with essential tremors in my head and hands now age 46. I've tried about everything and so far nothing works but im a little skeptical on the brain surgery.

Side effects include death.

You can say that about everything.

I found beta blockers helped. Inderal, nadolol, metorolol, etc.; also lowers BP and good first aid for heart attack.

Myself and other people have all tried these medications and they don't work, just side effects.
