Hi REnee, I am a retired psychiatrist 54 years old who has had PD for 10 years. I have had the procedure outlined in the PBS piece and have had excellent results. There are a number of different surgical procedures that can be done depending on the symptoms, the health and age of the patient etc. I suggest you take a look at the archives which could be quite helpful. I would be happy to keep in touch with you either on or off list to help you weigh the various possibilities. Good luck. Charlie Renee Marton wrote: > Hi!
