Until that time i worked as a psychologist in an outpatient clinic. I could not hold that job. But i managed to be a housekeeper and a mother for my two children. My illness has been stable for years but is now slowly deteriorating I am interested in reading stories about how others manage to live with this illnes.Also i wish to hear about pallidotomy especialy from people who have had this and of course about new research findings.
