Along the same lines, my dad has terrible dyskenesias from waking to sleep. What can be done? This a.m. on the way to work we stopped for gas and the whole car was shaking. BTW, we all carpool into DC together. My dad mentioned that when he goes to the local PD support group that he seems to always be the only one in the room doing a dance. This statement made me think that this was not normal. WDYT? Would the DBS STN help with this? He has already had a unilateral pallidotomy. Thanks for your replies.

QUICK STOP TO DYSKENESIA i 'm hoping someone out there knows of a way to help me - if a PWP is just completely dyskenetic to the point of being out of control physically - is there ANYTHING that can be done "on the spot" to "slow them down" or induce a state of calmness - even to the point that he just is "down" for the rest of the day? mom just called and apparently daddy has been in this state for two days solid - is so out of breath can't speak - totally confused, etc. and just can't slow down - it is now almost 1p my time - so i'm counting the minutes for help! many thanks - cari daughter of. . .
