Has anyone on this thread had the doctor suggest the Deep Brain Stimulation surgery for ET? My hubby had a couple of neurologist suggest it. (Hubby was reluctant and waited seven years before he consented.) The first surgery for his right hand was such a success that he is like a kid waiting for Christmas anticipating the second surgery to help his left hand. Yes, there are warnings that accompany the surgery; however, for him, ET is so disabling, frustrating and annoying that he is ready to face it again after experiencing the improvement so far.
