My husband drinks tonic water for the quinine. We swear by the results. He drinks a bottle a day--has them in the frig at work. I also agree, however, that the hydration alone is helping as well. On another note, last night we attended the fledgling young onset parkinson's support group on the west side of Cleveland. We feel that as a result of attending that meeting, our lives have turned a corner. We experienced such a strengthening from meeting other couples going through much of the same things we are. And on still another note, sometime ago, I wrote re: our rough spring, managing finances, etc. Someone with young children emailed me off-line. We had such a helpful correspondence a few times. Unfortunately, I did not keep the address. If you are reading this and think you may be who I am talking about, please write me again off-line. I do not want to lose touch.
