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

[progressoid]

72. I'm lucky (???) in that I'm already bald. :)

I've been on meds for over 15 years for ET. Until recently, I was able to control it with meds, but they seemed to have reached their limit. My neurologist suggested that the next thing to try was DBS or even Focused Ultrasound. I've got a few years to go for Medicare to kick in. My insurance doesn't cover much so instead I'm currently on an ET drug trial that is somewhat helpful, but there are times when I have to just stop and either go into zen mode (which isn't easy for me) or have a glass of wine to stop the shakes.

I had an uncle with Parkinson's who had DBS. It was like night and day for him.
