520 "An inspirational tale of personal struggle with and
triumph over Tourette syndrome, this is the story of Jeff
Matovic and the radical treatment he sought to cure
himself. After suffering from Tourette's for years--with
his tics and outbursts getting progressively worse and
with no results coming from drugs or physical or spiritual
therapy--Jeff was able to convince his doctors and his
insurance company to try a risky deep brain stimulation
treatment, a surgery that involves the implantation of a
pacemaker for the brain into his skull. Penned by a
journalist who is also afflicted with Tourette's, this is
the incredible story of a friendship that blossomed under
their common experiences with this bizarre brain disorder.
A complete discussion of the latest medical research of
and treatments for Tourette's, written in accessible and
easy-to-understand terminology, is also included"--
