Im 52 and was dx'ed in 2009. I still work 6 1/2 hours a day and drive but dont cook. Most days I have very little dykenesia (except for right NOW) and dystonia is a mostly every day occurance. I passed all the tests with flying colors and am just waiting for a surgery date. My surgeon will be Conrad Pappas. Do they use a robot or is this a "hands on" procedure?

UPDATE Just gota call. Looking at possible surgery date in late Nov-early Dec. Meds still haven't kicked in yet today so it can't come soon enough!
