Just because I don't really think it matters what you'd do if you won the lottery, I feel its more important exactly what you are doing with that buck 25 you have in your pocket right now. >go to the vet >and your pet dog has all kinds of drugs available >that humans use too. > >I had a Dachshund once who was on exactly the same dosage of Thyroid medication I was. I never worried about running out of pills for him, because if I did, I just gave him one of mine. Question: Do Dogs get Parkinson's? And speaking of animals, I thought it was Chimps who had brains almost human, not monkeys??

I made cranberry salad anyway, but I was the only one to eat it, and I'm still here and still don't have cancer!!! Keep you hopes up Ray, but just remember you had PD when you got up this morning and you're going to have it when you go to bed tonight~~~~Its all the living with PD during those hours between arising and going to bed which really separate the weak-kneed wimps from those of us who will live to fight another day.
