Greg Sterling, With all due respect, I hope you are not serious in your response and this was a joke, however a bad one in my opinion. As a newcomer, I have already found a lot of useful inforamtion on this list; however it is disheartening to see such responses to very serious requests and/or questions. PWPs are entitled to have differing opinions on whether to be on meds or not. If they are capable of handling their lifestyles w/o the aid of meds for whatever reason, then we should support their decision instead of projecting flippant remarks at them. with best regards to you, Dabu Patel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Sterling" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 3:26 PM Subject: Re: PD without meds > Have him contact "Masochists R Us" at 1-800-RUSERIOUS. > > Greg > 48/35/35 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Herb" <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2001 11:32 PM > Subject: PD without meds > > > > Dear List: > > I met a gentlemen a week or so ago who is a PWP who has so far > > elected not to take any medications.
