Hi, my name is Dorothy. My husband, Milo, is my computer operator. I m 60+ and was diagnosed PD about 8 years ago although I have had mild symptoms for over 25 years. I am currently on Sinemet and Sinemet CR, Eldepryl, Lorazepam, Surmontil and Benadryl. I also take vitamins C, E, and D. I found my symptoms greatly improved from trying some suggestions regarding diet from PD literature. I take no protein in AM and lunch. For the evening meal I eat beans, soy products, and other vegetable protein. I m now on a totally vegetarian diet. My dyskinesia has become severe. Much fatigue but no constipation. Hot weather bothers me, does it bother you? My neurologist now thinks I am a good candidate for a pallidomoty. I m apprehensive about this & would like to know more about it before proceeding. What pre-testing is done? What benefits can I expect? More stamina? Less medications? Does anyone know of a comprehensive source of information on pallidomoty? Should I give NADH a try before I consider surgery? I ve been reading the list postings for several weeks and have really enjoyed it, including Lynda s trip to Holland. Dorothy
