HELLO
HELLO HELLO
YUUHOOOOOOoooooooooo....
.......... anybody home?..........
.......... i just had a knee jerk reaction to this news release.........
i don't want this test -- you might -- i don't
unless i was desperate to know exactly what i have
but not at the risk of losing more of a particular set of cells.
i've lost a significant number of dopamine regulating cells
a couple years before diagnosis i went over the edge
and symptoms became annoying
i've got some cells left and don't want to lose them.
why would i want to put a radioactive dopamine agonist
in what cells i have left?
those cells would be targeted
OOO OOOO targeted OOOOOOOOO
OOO targeted
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOO increasing intimate exposure to radiation OOOOOOOO
is NOT good.
