Barbara, Thank you for your message to the list. Many of us were concerned about you and about the nature of some of the comments appearing on the list. Certainly the last few weeks have been among the darkest for many - stress levels are high, there is still much grief, many fears and feelings are easily hurt. It is still difficult for many people to get back to "normal". Your expressions of understanding are appreciated. John, my deepest sympathy for your losses. I don't think many people knew what you and your family were going through. I hope you know we are all here for you. I joined this list almost 6 years ago, a few weeks after my diagnosis at age 45. I believe in many ways it helped me survive those initial months of coping with the diagnosis. The knowlege about PD I have learned from the list has been invaluable in living with this disease and in partcipating in my treatment. But most important of all has been the support and friendship of other list members. I can't imagine how i would have gotten through the last 6 years without them. To the new members, please stay with us - participating in the discussion or just reading the messages if you prefer will help immensely. To those old friends who have signed off, as Barbara wrote, I hope you will visit with us again sometime. You are missed. Best to all, Linda ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
