Ivan raises important issues. I do not think that it helps the broader PD community, if the intricies of the disease and its treatment are downplayed in news coverage of celebrity sufferers. I also wish the best for Janet Reno. But the public needs to be aware that frequently in the individual patient's fight against PD, the patient looses a round. I know that PD has "kicked my butt royal" on many occasions. We all have to learn our own best way to get back up for the next round.
