Thanks Greg, I just want to put an end to this. I know that each person is affected differently and we have both mental issues as well as physical and you're definetly right - the physical issues are easier to deal with. Often the physical problems can evoke mental situations - when I'm in severe pain it often creates intense anxiety - I just don't think anyone has a right to be offensive if you don't know the facts - let's put yesterday behind and help one and other. Thanks for the info on that gentleman - he's going to help me with some stem cell info Tim --- Greg Sterling <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I think you have to keep in mind that PD effects > everyone differently.
