Yea, what about that. If Fox's willingness to gamble on untested, unproven procedures by having experimental brain surgery paid off, then why is he out of control in McHassle's ad?

"A promising new experimental brain procedure. Known as a thalamotomy, this procedure destroys the part of the thalamus involved in movement control. In 1996, Fox underwent the operation, and it helped relieve the worst of the tremors."

Some of the reading I did about this said that the medication itself, if it's l-dopa or a form of it that he is taking, can cause the same symptoms after a great length of time on it.

Don't know if that's what he's on, but it is what my grandmother took for her Parkinson's, 15+ years ago.
