Hi Susie.... I've had PD for almost 26 years. I drank coffee ONCE in my life - when I was 16 years old (I'm 57 now). I thought the stuff was SO awful tasting that from that day to this, I've never had it again (tho coffee ice cream is right up there near the top of my list of favorites) And just in case the conversation swings 'round to discuss nicotine's possible place in Parkinson's treatment, I've never, ever so much as tried smoking anything (didn't even have a smoke without inhaling. I mean I've NEVER smoked. Sooo, if I were you, I'd keep on checking when you hear about an unlikely PD treatment 'cause ya never can tell what'll eventually turn the corner whit this steeeeenkin' disease, but take things that SEEM far out as BEING far out, it;; proven otherwise.
