Dear Rayilyn, Not everybody should be grouped with the few "bad apples" out there that obviously dont understand PD. We do not think you are faking it . It takes courage to keep working with PD or any other crippling disease and it takes more courage to realize its time to quit and let others replace you in the work force. Some people just dont get it so let them be the small minded and ignorant ones and put them on ignore after they have succeeded in hurting your feelings so carelessly . I think many would miss you here, I know we would , so please stay and know some Parky's like you for you. ' Please have a better rest of the day.
