Daniel, I am a relatively newbie to this PD Crap and I have to fight every day to keep a half-way positive attitude, and that is with taking anti depressives. I'd probably be a total basket case w/o them. I really can't understand how some of these people on this net have retained their sense of humour or regained it if that is the case. I believe I probably had PD about five years before I was diagnosed, but I have had very few good days since Oct 6, 98. I don't think I suffer from dementia but I have so much pain, cramps, rigidity , freezing, etc. that I do find myself getting confused sometimes. This is a brief reply to say thank you for choosing this topic. But, should you need any more info' after you hear from the adults on the pieNET I would be most happy to hear from you on the net or privately. The only thing I can promise you is you will get the straight facts as I see them. Marie M. Marie McNeely 64/62/60?
