I also am very interested in hearing from anyone who has had a Pallidotomy. I'd appreciate receiving a step-by-step description of the operation, plus pre-operation PD problems and post-operation results. I would also appreciate hearing from any advanced PWP who has symptoms similar to mine. How have you dealt with severe dyskinesia and dystonia? For you insomniacs, do you have special tricks for falling asleep and staying asleep? Thanks in advance for your help, my friends.
