For a few years it appeared to me that RLS was not common in PWP as I mostly got messages from non-PD with restless legs syndrome. I am not quite sure what happened lately but the flood gates opened and RLS has become a large part of my incoming e-mail from PWP/RLS. I am scheduled for a left pallidotomy this Wednesday by Dr. Lauri Laitinen in Stockholm. I had a successful right side done there in May l993. If I get as good a result from the left pall. I will be one happy fella. Too bad pallidotomy doesn't help RLS as it does PD. Maybe a slight shift of the probe would do wonders eh? Ever hopeful! I will be signing off this list for a few weeks but I don't want to lose the thread of RLS/PD we seem to have unleashed on this BB. Please send RLS/PD messages to my e-mail. I don't know what we can do with the information but it might show us something. Regards, Barbara Yacos, RN <[log in to unmask]>
