Andy,

I'm real sorry to hear it's back.

I've been dealing with it without drugs 1-1/2 years now. Have good and bad days. My TN buddy in the next cubicle thinks I'm nuts, but he's still new to this (his third year). At first, it was pretty hard getting along without the meds, but now I am used to it. Only problem is I'm getting a little fat from avoiding movement. Still, I am much happier without all the drugs and, if anything, I am less stressed by it than when my focus was on controlling it.

Any chance you might consider going cold-turkey if the gamma-knife doesn't work out. It's really not that awful once you get passed fighting it, and so much better having a whole brain.

Good luck,
Bob S
