Hi list members who have been a great deal of help on my pd journey. I've had pd for about thirty years. Need some help as I'm going to ATLANTA (Emory) for a pallidotmy in two weeks. Has anyone on this list had one done there ? Sorry I haven't responded before. I tried but had a couple of letters that I accidentally erased the notes! So I'm trying again and first of all a big thank you to all of you! I've have diskensia and tremors which makes socializing and going out difficult. Much muscle and joint pain. I was on Advil and Aleve and vitamin E which they told me to stop for two weeks as they are anticoagulant. I feel like I'm going through withdrawal. They suggested Tylenol which doesn't work nearly as well. Had my first MRI not too bad but really had to hold still. Hope all this helps some else going for this surgery! More later. Dorothy
