I too have wondered if I would be a candidate for DBS. I have had PD for 23 years and have just about gone through the entire list of medications. My quality of life is not what I would like it to be.At the present time my worsr symptoms are the stiffness and dyskinesias. I had a pallidotomy and while the immediate effects were good it only lasted 6 months and I have had a steady progression of my disease since that time. I would be interested in hearing fom anyone who has had the surgery! carol gray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
