Greg,
I was reading something you posted a while ago where you mentioned having a
2nd pallidotomy this past summer.  Would you mind sharing about your history?
 I noticed that you are only 40 and have had this disease since you were 28.  
Did you take Sinemet?  My husband is 48, dx. 3 years ago, and is fearful of
Sinemet. He's been on several dopamine agonists and Symmetril and Selegaline.
His major problem is rigidity with muscle spasm and imbalance. I think we're
both afraid that he might not benefit from Sinemet and if not, there's not
much they can do at this point, until stem cell replacement someday,
hopefully. We're also fearful of dyskenesias from Sinemet and I'm just
fearful cuz the disease seems to really be progressing.
Any input is helpful. Thank you,
Kate
