No one really seemed to share my amazement at learning about focused ultrasound possiblities for PD, so I dug further and found out more.

PTT has already had clinical trials for ET (Laura, I think you were dx'd with ET first, right?) and here is the video of the world's first ET patient who received focused ultrasound treatment at UVA, be sure to note the dates, from 1/11 he was having a lot of difficulty, to 3/11, what an improvement:

Here's a link describing the procedure in a bit more detail, sounds like you are awake so you can provide feedback during the procedure, and you go home the day after:

What do you all think of this? It's like DBS, but without the gear, and with a much higher efficacy rate, with the bonus of helping symptoms other than just tremor.
