Below is video of me getting injected about 14 times in my face and 20 times in my back. Please note the injections are pretty much painless.
*The face shown here feels like small insect stings and may bleed slightly..
*The back was not painful at all due to the freezing spray they use first.
Since my Deep Brain Stimulation last year on July 12th my Parkinson symptoms have been under control and in some cases *totally suppressed.. With the exception of my *speech which has worsened as expected,
* DBS will rarely improve balance, prevent falls or enhance thinking or speech.
But the natural progression of my Parkinson disease has evidently continued. I have painful cervical dystonia (lower and upper back), a face spasm in my left cheek, and *Blepharospasm.
*Blepharospasm is a muscle disorder that causes involuntary spasms of the muscles around your eye. These spasms can result in uncontrolled narrowing or closing of your eyelid. This could impair your vision, and make everyday tasks such as driving or using a computer difficult.
