I had a pallidotomy proceedure done on my right side 2 months ago Jan. 11th. I consider the results very promising, however, I am experiencing what I guess is depression and have been for the last 45 days. Extremely tired by noon and progesses as the day goes on. It's all I can do to stay at work. I have also experienced panic anxiety which was an intirly new experience for me. Gary D. Crowe Grandview, WA INTERNET <[log in to unmask]>
