I have tremor on my right side. My MSD and I have tried everything to get control of it cause it drives me crazy at times. Well, she talked to me about DBS the last time I saw her. We set up the appointments for the psych evaluation and the consultation with the neuro surgeon. They needed a new MRI of my brain and we found that I have a blockage growing right in the path of where they would want to place the probe. I also quickly discovered that my insurance would not be accepted by the surgeon or the hospital. Even if it was, I would still have been left with a $10,000 - $15,000 bill to pay out of my pocket. With my being on disability and having a daughter getting ready to go to college, I simply could not afford that at this time. Her education is to me more important than my tremor. She has her whole life ahead of her. In comparsion, I have a limited number of years left. Would I consider it in a few years? Maybe. It is a matter of what is right for you at the time.
