Hello out there.  I have been off line for a while and just now am =
beginning to feel like I can say hi to you all.=20
 As I near my 40th birthday next Sunday, I am confronted with allot of =
new emotions, one of them being related to the progression of my =
disease.  I have spent so much energy trying to  be so strong and =
covering up my symptoms ( I am very self conscious )  I have gotten to =
the point of not being able to cover up the shaking and jerking and =
stiffness... it sucks!  Especially now that I have recently entered the =
dating game. It really sucks when trying to  make a good impression with =
a prospective beau.  The nervousness brings out the shaking etc.. and it =
is impossible to hide(especially when you cant eve hold a glass of water =
without spilling it or cant seem to get change back into my wallet or =
any number of normal things.  This happened the other day when I ran =
into my latest crush and was so nervous I was shaking and jerking =
around,  I don't know what he was thinking, I saw him looking at me and =
observing..  I once had a boss who asked me if I had a drinking problem =
(the shakes).  who knows what goes through peoples minds when they =
observe us, and what do you say when they ask? This usually happens to =
me in a very social setting and what do I say?  Just blurt out " I have =
pd" ?  boy that really catches them off guard. =20

Anyways,  I am having sleeping problems , this  week avg. 3-4 hours a =
nite and it really accenuates my symptoms,  I'm not really tired but my =
body is, I guess.

I want to say that I really love you all and thank god this  list =
exists.  As I sit here typing with my hand and leg shaking(left side)  =
My muscles fighting to have control over the shaking,  I am so grateful =
that this list exists.  It is my only source for support, living on a =
small island in the Caribbean (ST JOHN, US VIRGIN ISLANDS)
No neuros, no support groups  no info.  This list is IT!   thank you so =
much for being there.

with love
