hi all, the problem with this thesis is ; many people, including I, have had a serious virus when a baby ( 107deg f causing fever lines on my teeth.). I do not have pd and many have had serious viruses including rhubella but they are well too. I would like to think the answer is simple ; right under our noses which it well may be.. If so, I hope someone finds that spot soon. audrey ----- Original Message ----- From: Janice Morgan <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 10:11 AM Subject: Re: Childhood respiratory ailments and PD > Hi Sandra Norris, > I have had breathing problems for some time and the doc's thought I had > asthma and was treated for it.
