HI Marilyn, I have had the DBS stimulation surgery on both sides in 1996. I'm so sorry about your misfortune. Seems like it is your turn to have some luck come your way. >Hi: >I had to leave the listserve a while back. My husband, Claude, has had PD for >almost 23 years--since age 39. He's a great, proud fellow and the love of my >life. He is waiting for a new drug that is supposed to be out some time this >month. He tried Tasmar and it was wonderful but the diarrhea couldn't be >controlled and then later, the warnings about liver failure in some. If >this new >medication doesn't help, he will consider surgery options--electrical >stimulation, not pallidotomy. Anything new on the procedure? Has anyone >else on >the list had it? Need to know lots. Thanks, Marilyn [log in to unmask]
