  • Before Nancy had a deep brain stimulation device implanted at Barrow Neurological Institute, she had difficulty feeding herself and performing other daily tasks. In this dramatic video, she talks about how she is now nearly symptom free. #DeepBrainStimulationDevice #EssentialTremor #DBSImplant

      I'm 29 at time of writing; it's really difficult to be social when the only thing you can think of is how weird you look shaking... tremors are one thing, the hardest part for me is the anxiety and agoraphobia that comes with the tremors

      I’ve always struggled with anxiety, and I’ve payed a decent amount of attention to presentation and, movement. This affects me daily, I work with my hands. Makes me real nervous to think it’s only going to get worse

      This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "how does parkinson's disease get diagnosed?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Piyaliyah Prominent Prepotence - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to reverse Parkinsons disease minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.

    What is the device?

    • @juicer52
      @juicer52 2 года назад

      From the video, it appears that the device demonstrated is an external switch that operates a surgically implanted device with a wire that extends into the brain, much like a cardiac pacemaker. The video is over 8 years old. Today, there are non-invasive technologies including Focused Ultrasound that ablate small and specific sections of the brain that affect the tremor. There are no guarantees with any treatment and potential side effects as well, but the focused ultrasound seems like the latest "best hope."
      Science and medicine don't magically happen in the news or youtube but mostly with dedicated prolonged and thoughtful efforts. That being said, there is no better time than the "now" to be sick as treatments constantly evolve.

      I've had Essential tremors for pretty well most of my life, ever since I started having different type of seizures ever since I was 11 months old( I'm 16 now) for my family it's hard to find cheap ways to get things done, and I'm supposed to get my foot surgery done when I can. It's just a whole mess a junk.

      Rattle snake chick - research deep brain stimulation and focused ultrasound for essential tremors. These are fairly new types of treatments. Both have had very good results. My 2brothers both have had good results from DBS but focused ultrasound would be my choice since it doesn’t require surgery.
