Hi Joanne, I am sorry was not up to coming to the symposium. I got up Saturday and decided that my medication wasn''t working well enough to have my son drop me off for the day. I had made reservations to be there. Last year I drove myself. I had a pallidotomy 1-1/2 years ago and did really great for 6 months but then my severe dyskinesias returned. I have had two series of votox shots but even they have not stopped the dyskinesias, but I have had parkinson''s disease for 23 years and been on sinemet for 21 years so--God has been good to me! Sorry I missed meeting you!!
