HiJanet and all, Yesterday I checked tonight's opportunity to "chat" on-line with Mr. Muhammad and Mrs.Lonnie Ali. A source informed me that Mr. Ali will be on-line, but that Mrs. Ali will NOT be present Please note that, o' blessed world of spelling accuracy, that I have substituted a "U" in place of the "o" in his first name. Can anyone suggest why the Neuro Center says that Mr. Ali is fighting Parkinson's "Syndrome?" Is this to suggest he has pubilistic, P.D.-like set of symptoms, and has not been definitely diagnosed? Does the Neuro Center think he has something else, different, instead of P.D.? Where is the Neuro Center? To me, there is a larger issue at stake here. Separating us PWP's by the use of less well-known and somewhat different terminology can fragment our power as a community if we are split up into too many names. I thought Mr. Ali has PD, so now what are we supposed to tell the public?
