Shake It Up! The Podcast
This podcast is all about Essential Tremor. You've all seen it in other people but didn't know what it was called. It is estimated that between 4 and 10 million people in the United States alone is afflicted. We will discuss news, treatment options and lifestyle issues.
I've had essential tremor for as long as I can remember but it really got bad in the last 5 years or so. Therefore, I come to this, as your host, from a layman's perspective and not a medical professional. We will cover everything related to ET.
I welcome your input!

Episode 06- An Interview with a patient who had DBS surgery 5 days ago! Exploring Essential Tremor treatment
Marcus is a Columbus, Ohio area resident. He is undergoing a slightly different version of Deep Brain Stimulation ( DBS) than I had. His will be done in 3 steps, 4 if you include activation.
This podcast discusses his thoughts after step 1 of the surgery, implantation of the first electrode.
As always, a video version of this podcast is over on YouTube.
I can be reached for questions or comments at ShakeItUp.thepodcast@gmail.com. You can also send me questions for Marcus, which I will forward to him.
BTW, I apologize for the quality of my audio. I'm experimenting with different mic techniques.
