Parkinsn's Eighth Anniversary just passed and we are still here doing what we can to help one another and work to facilitate a cure. Many of us have participated in drug and surgery studies. Many have participated in surveys and more will come in the new year. Some have had DBS and have made significant progress on delaying the progression of our symptoms. What all this means is still yet to be determined. New mechanisms of treatment hold great promise, but haven't we heard it all before? Perhaps stem cells will provide the avenue for treatment and even the promise of a cure. The sacrifices of today will bring forth the successes of tomorrow. Some of you have lost and refound your connection to parkinsn with all the turmoil of the ISP problems. Some of our subscribers at Home.com are still without email service. Perhaps this will sort itself out. If you find your provider has gone out of business don't worry, just let me know where you are when you can. The international scope of parkinsn never ceases to amaze me. Below is the breakdown where our members are located. We appreciate you all. I wish you and your families the happiest holidays and thank you for your loving support through the years.
