Did it increase the amount of your "on time" or did it make the "off" symptoms less problematic? I look forward some replys. HI Fatigue and Pallidotomy What a pair!! In the 8 months since my Pallidotomy I have fallen asleep while working at my computer and while sitting in a chair. The really immense fatigue began to fade after 5 / 6 months and current tiredness can often be traced to too much activity----unlike the post-op variety. Some of the best accounts of pallidotomy and recovery were written by Barbara Yacos and the late Alan Bonander. I would suggest an archive search for their postings. John Cottingham's regular postings give instructions on accessing the archives. And if you live in Canada, the Parkinson Foundation has a booklet on surgery for Parkinsons. Call 1 800 565 3000 for a copy. Anne Rutherford <[log in to unmask]>
