Hello Lavanya, I'm sorry your father died after having this disease for 7 years. Your thoughtfulness and compassion are warmly felt. I have a question though. You said your father died of PD. I have always been told that if and when I die that I will die with PD, but that you do not die of PD. I am going to go on my 2 1/2 hour drive back home on Thursday for my appointment with my neurologist for my 4 month check up and question her again about this. If this is too hard to talk to you about this, please let me know and I won't ask anymore questions of you. Sincerely, Colleen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
