I am a new member. My mother is 67 years old and has hd Parkinson's Disease for over 25 years. Over the past 12 months or so, she has started to have hallucinations from the sinemet. Her doctor put her on closerol to stop the hallucinations. When she moved to FLorida, her new neurologist put her on resperdol instead of the closerol. Apparently, the resperdol is safer. The quality of my mother's life is not great, so I am thinking of researching the possibility of a pallidotomy. Does anyone have information on the risks and successes of such an operation - and the best surgeons and hospitals to go? I would appreciate any information. Thanks.
