Diane, I first noticed some of my PD symptoms in 1987 I was diagnosed in
early 1988.the doctor was cor.myrect in his diagnosis but he was
incompetent.I had the pallidotomy in august of 1995. THat was the best
thing that I ever expriemnced. It took me from the hellish dyskinesia i was
experiencing to an almost normal life. I am now taking a ton of PD meds and
little by little they are starting to fail to do the job.
I was 44 when i noticd symtoms and 45 when diagnosed. I am 59 now..



Yours and His
