I had a pallidal stimulation operation where probs , through which an
electrical impulse is passed by batteries surgically implanted under the
skin, stimulates the region where a pallidotomy is usually performed. I can
now turn my tremor on or off with a pass of a magnet over the batteries. It
is like the difference between night and day.
My body does seem to override the impulse under extreme stress or
excitement(for example , watching Jayhawk basketball). I also turn the
device off at night to help conserve the battery. I take Klonopin to help
me sleep.
