Jane, I am a Parkinsonian of 20 years standing. I had a right side pallidotomy in December '93 and a left pallidal DBS in December '94. My meds are now 25% of pre-surgical levels - 4 sinemet crs(200/50) and 4.5 mg permax daily. Before I was in the 88th percentile; now I'm in the 10th-15th.

My thought now for writing is to tell you I am changing my email address and anyone trying to reach me will need to use my new address, as of today. [log in to unmask] My background with Parkinson's is nearly 22 years of experience . I have had a DBS STN surgery and I now take only Mirapex. I am almost symptom free. I run a support group in Klamath Falls, Oregon and always looking for speakers and members. A couple of years ago my husband won the Caring Hands Award for the State of Oregon. I am happy to answer any ones questions and I delight in your challenges. [log in to unmask]
