At the risk of an understatement, this report is great news and very encouraging; we are interested in a similar posting from everyone else who has had a pallidotomy and/or thalamotomy at Loma Linda or elsewhere. Alan B, I believe I recall you having had a pallidotomy - would you mind sharing similar information? All other pallidotomy/thalamotomy folks, please share pre-op and post-op observations. Don Berns' report is glorious and we'd like to hear experiences of others as well. Looking forward to hearing from everyone :) Lisa Carper --
