Ivan, Are you giving us a new glimpse of hope, with interferons? As a matter of interest I mentioned it to our family doctor whom we saw today for an update on PD condition of my husband. His only comment was that people try everything. He did not offer he would try with my husband. I am awaiting for wider response on this list to your letter. Thank you for your input. It would be interesting,however, to know if Val's non tremor condition will last. Keep and eye on Val and let us know.
