Katie - You have writeen a very wise commentary. The situation as I see it, is, that stress makes PD symptoms so much worse, and one of the ways to eleviate that stress is to talk about it. So many of our list members are in isolated areas, which makes it even more important to express their feelings on the list. As time goes by, we can get back to more technical matters, but what's important right now, is to be able to communicate with one another.
