Focused Ultrasound

[jaberalhddad]

I have an opportunity to be treated with MRI- Focused Ultrasound , has anyone did this treatment ?

What are the advantages and dis advantages of this procedure ?

Is it advisable for my condition ?

I have no tremors but sometimes little Dyskinesia and dystonia which are controlled by supplements .

It has been several months since I read about ultrasound. I think it is only useful for tremors?

What supplement are you taking for dystonia?

MRgFUS or Focused Ultrasound is ablative meaning the area targeted is destroyed...can't be undone, unlike DBS. More here: linkedin.com/pulse/ablate-q...

Hope it helps!

Go for it! I passed all the tests, but turned down because my skull wasn't dense enough. I was so disappointed. I would do it in a heartbeat. Like DBS but non invasive... I believe it's the future of surgery.

It kills cells--I passed the tests but turned it down when she couldn't assure me that everyone thus far that had it was not negatively impacted, like could they walk, etc.

Thanks

I believe it is very good for tremor. My understanding is it can only be done on one side of the brain, unlike DBS, they are burning the cells, cannot be "undone" like DBS can. I also heard you cannot be claustrophobic, you could be in that MRI tube for 4 hours, not for me!

where are you going to have the treatment

[michaela13]

Where?

[michaela13]

Baltimore or' Virginia?

[jaberalhddad]

You are saying it was offered to you dyskenesia or dystonia jaberalhd.? I have never heard it used for that. Its still a very new technique and id love it for tremor but i would need to have complete confidence in the surgeon. Im not sure i would trust whoever offered to 'experiment' on you

[jaberalhddad in reply to Hikoi]

It will be done in Rambam hospital as they told me I supposed to l have a call conference via skype with the doctor toady I will know more details and will update , I don't know about ultrasound I just was asking if its good treat Dyskinesia and dystonia ?

[jaberalhddad]

I made my mind i will go for DBS instead of focused Ultrasound although my PD Iis not so bad .

[jaberalhddad]

I did my dba surgery and I am happy with the results

Hello Jaberalhd

Your post on xanthohumol from 3 years ago came up a few times lately. You had DBS surgery since then, does it mean the xanthohumol and other supplements gradually stopped working for you?

Thank you

Wow. This is like fixing a jigsaw puzzle. Good job Parkie

[Parkie- in reply to Millbrook]

Sorry Millbrook, I didn't mean to burst your hopes. Anyway, lets wait and see what Jaber has to say. Maybe he has some more precious info for us concerning xanthohumol.

[Millbrook in reply to Parkie-]

I was practically at the factory door

with my order

[Parkie- in reply to Millbrook]

I know, I know... I have read thousands of posts, ordered and tried dozens of supplements. I totally understand you.

[Millbrook in reply to Parkie-]

Thank you. Hope springs eternal

my doc's at university colorado hospital advise me it wll only address tremor and make balance and possibly speech worse.
