Hello again from Maine! Are any courageous PWP's, or their caregivers, willing to share their stories of your pallidotomies that have NOT succeeded---where you are WORSE than you were before surgery?? Or have MISERABLE side-effects??? I am considering pallidotomy, but I MUST KNOW MORE ABOUT THE DANGERS before going further. So far I have noticed that, we listmembers tend to inform ourselves about the successful surgeries, and I FEEL THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THE STORY! My closest friend, Tom, in between baking batches of applesauce cookies, said to me yesterday, "But Ivan, what about the RISKS??" Thanking you advance, Ivan Suzman, 47/10 Portland, Maine/ land of lighthouses 6F. snowing
