Hello Pete, Thank you for responding to my question. My mother is taking the Tasmar as well. It has been of great benefit to her. She is much more mobile and that has helped boost her morale. We just received word from Loma Linda on Monday that mom has a surgery date for August 26. Needless to say we are thrilled and a little fearful as well. You continue to do well since your pallidotomy? It is our prayer that she will do well also. Thank you again for your response. The Lord bless you.
