Hellllllllllllo Barb are you awake? :-)) yes you are right as always
(almost) :-), people often tell me "Oh don`t worry Sonia, now they have new
drugs aalmost every month and id DOES help - that kind people are told from
the newspaper, and somtimes they advice me to have a surgery as Deep  Brain
el-stmulation, because certenley it MUST help me, they have been told
fromTV-news. Sometimes I´m very "politely" and tell the people that`s not
so easy as they think. Other times I`m loosing my very bad temper, most
when the people goes on and know "more" about PD than I do.
Other times people becomes very disappointed because I DONT shake :-))
because then I CAN`T suffer from PD, because you HAVE to shake - OH yes
that`s the life :-)) still worth to live.
