It started of as hemi PD with tremor in one hand and it got worssen untill both hand and leg on one side were shivering. 4 years ago i have passed a sterotactic palidotomy. At first both hand and leg stopped shivering and it seemed as if I was cured but then after a few month my leg started shivering again and after less than a year my hand started shaking again. Two years ago my condition was worssen and the other side of my body started shaking too, my hand writing became unrecognizable and I have problems with intiating movments. Today I am taking a drug named "jumex" and I am searching for new ways of treatment as for drugs do not affect me any longer. I am intersted in the thalamic stimulation and wondering if it fits a person like me who had already passed a brain operation. >And by the way - is esential tremor is a different illness or is it a politicly corect term for PD? >Looking forward to getting answers to my qouestions. >Avigdor >
