Hi: I had to leave the listserve awhile back. My husband, Claude, has had PD for almost 23 years--since age 39. Great, proud, fellow and the love of my life. He is waiting for a new drug that is suppose 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 med. doesn't help, he will consider surgery options-stimulation, not pallidotomy. Anything new on the procedure or has anyone else on the list had it? Need to know lots!Please. Thanks, Marilyn
