Ivan, I can't agree more. Altho I'm all for all PDs doing whatever they can career wise, I think they have a responsibility to help explain what a horrid disease this is and most likely will be for them. When I was first diagnosed a friend of my mother commented "At least it's not painful". Ha Ha. I'm no sissy, I taught in inner city LA while on chemo, 20 yrs ago, and PD is much worse. It is a battle you can't win and it destroys your life (only my opinion) It is "rigor mortis" without benefit of death plus a bunch of other ugly stuff, but I look like the picture of health, and people think it's not so bad, there are meds (which don't work for me) and of course brain surgery and that if I were a Christian Scientist I could cure myself or a Mormon, I chose this before birth. I don't want to be a heroine anymore as I was considered when I "beat" ovarian CA. I just want the truth to get out and celebs and politicos could help. Reno isn't bothered by her shaking, but mine drives me nuts, it never stops. Okay, enough whining.. . just tell it like it is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
