This got lost when my iMAC froze (maybe it has PD???) but I want to re-write it, as it is so important, especially but not only for newer members of PIEN, On 4/27/00, J.R. posted in several sections a long and fascinating result of a lot of his digging . While he states that it is "only my opinion" and he's not a doctor, it answers many of the questions we ask of each other on PIEN and CARE, such as "Is _____ related to my PD?" Though it will of course be found in the list archives on PIENO, not everyone has net access, so I wonder if J.R. would consider reposting it? I've reading it again to Peter, and we are constantly saying, "Yes, yes, that explains _______! " I think it would make a great Christmas gift to the lists.
