Yes, Fox was over, not under, medicated in the TV ad and he said so himself. After I had my 2 DBS brain surgeries I tried carbo/levodopa again and got twitches/spasms in my abdomen! Imagine trying to fake that! I know Fox had a palliodotomy some years ago and I wonder if he has considered DBS. I do know that dyskinesia looks very different from tremor which so many are confusing. What bothers me the most is ignorant people giving their own "guess" as to Fox's condition. It makes me doubt anything they say. People don't understand how tricky PD meds are. As somebody recently commented there is always a tradeoff no matter what the treatment.
