Thank you till Wiliam Berman for sharing his experience with the Pallidotomy. My mother is 67 and has had PD for 25 years. Her quality of life is not great - I have trouble understanding her over the phone, and she needs two full time people to stay with her. I would like to learn as much as I can about Pallidotomy - the risks, the best doctors, statistical information, etc - I would appreciate any further information from William Berman or anyone else. Thanks! Aaron Gavios [log in to unmask]
