^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/12 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine Land of lighthouses 68 deg. F ******************************************************************** Welcome aboard, Jeana! Ii wonder if you can explain which symptoms improved post-pallidotomy, and which did not. Sorry about the struggle you have to find the feelin'-good middle ground between dyskinesia and tremors. Also, do you have freezing-up episodes either with, or without tremors? Write us again-we're with you 100%! Tolcapone (Tasmar) aids me considerably, and has forestalled surgery. I tried Mirapex without lasting improvement. Tasmar may be something for you to consider now.
