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.
It has been several years since I joined the
list and I religiously read every post but rarely add any
interjection. 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.
