I stopped at my parents' home this week and told them about this great
information network I've disovered on the internet--YOU! Was talking
to dad and asked if he's heard anything about some of the surgical
procedures (such as a pallidotomy) I keep reading about. He hasn't and
would like more information. So if anyone has some specific info,
please contact me: [log in to unmask]
He vaguely recalled hearing about dome kind of experimental drug (an
injection given 3 or 4 times a year) through a hospital in Michigan
and would like any info available on that as well. Sorry I can't
be more specific--he just didn't know anything else on it.
One thing I've noticed in most of the writings is that it seems a
majority of people with PD has tremors. My father does not. He
never did. Instead, his body tightens and tightens as the day
goes by. His other syptoms are similar--weakness, soft voice, mask
face, slowness, etc... He also has times where his body freezes in
mid-motion. Is this unusual? Could it be something treatable differently
than PD? Just curious.
