When I first found the list I felt like I found something special...it helped me "accept" as best I could that I had PD and that I WAS NOT ALONE WITH THIS THING.......if I found the list today, I doubt if I would feel that way...it drives me up a wall to see the bickering especially when I read the posts at night when I can't sleep....let's get back to the normal caring and supportive group we were and could still be again...and put Non-pd in front of anything not PD related and make use of the SPARKLE list...and keep our major support people like Dr. Fink, Dr. Romero, Kathrynne, etc...we're in a battle for our lives with PD and we need all the support we can get....
