Albert's Story
Living with the symptoms of dystonia brought many difficulties. Everything from walking to eating became a struggle and I had to rely on others, especially my brother, to assist me in nearly every way.

" When Albert was very sick, I felt really bad for him because he had such a hard time walking around that he had to get a wheelchair. My brother had a deep brain stimulation surgery performed by great doctors in New York City. Now Albert has two electrodes connected to the pacemakers that deliver electrical stimulation to targeted areas in the brain that control movement, blocking the abnormal nerve signals that cause dystonia. My brother is back on track, and we enjoy playing basketball, tennis and soccer together again. He is everything to me. I cherish our friendship a lot." Mitchell S.
