Waking up in the recovery room, I found that I was unable to breathe or swallow for a few minutes until I was given some oxygen. It was a rather frightening experience, though it didn't last more than a few minutes. I'm just wondering if it was harder for my body to initiate breathing again after the anaesthetic because of my Parkinson's. It has been four weeks since the operation, and I'm finding my Parkinson's symptoms worse with more rigidity and dystonia in my off periods, which have become more frequent. Celia Jones
