New Medicare Program: Full List of Services That Will Need Prior Approval

71. It's fairly new

I've had ET for over 10 years. When I first got it, it was really bad. I could hardly feed myself without throwing food across the room. Forget about eating peas - LOL. It's gotten better over the years and right now I don't even take medication for it. Other people notice my hands shaking more than I do.

I looked into the DBS and found out I would have to shave my head. Call me vain, but as a woman who lost her mother to breast cancer, I'm not shaving my head until I have to have chemo, which is hopefully never. My shakey hands just aren't that bad.

In any case, I think they are probably making sure that medications have been tried first. I think that's fair.
