Hello, AT my most recent meeting with my neuro', he suggested I consider having a Pallidotomy, which after reading all the various comment from listmembers, seems like a positive move. However, there is one aspect of the operation which concerns me,and that is with the advent of the research into Brain cell regeneration drugs i.e. GPI-1046, would having had a pallidotomy have an adverse effect on a potential recovery should these drugs become available? I know that research into GPI-1046 is still in its infancy, but at the age of 42 I don't want to make a decision now that I might regret for a long time. Regards, [log in to unmask]
