I'm forwarding this because many of our newcomers have questions-as they should. I'm not a newbie, and still my head is loaded with, "I don't understand!" You can also have sympathy for me for, as you can see, ATT is at it again! I think my original messages will be found somewhere in the universe during the 2020th year!

To make our situations even more complicated, one can observe that our illnesses are many and varied. When compared we don't even resemble one another! We are sometimes the ones who often feel even more isolated and forgotten than those outside the umbrella. We feel isolated because we know there are others like us somewhere, but no data base has been developed to connect us. Like our PD/PD+ brothers and sisters, we, too, wait for a cure. However, we know up front "this cure" might not even apply to us. We feel forgotten because we are the ones who are so often not included in PD questionnaires and/or surveys and/or reports and studies(that's why we included everyone in the HOW SURVEY). We don't qualify though we have much to contribute. Were it not for PIEN'S and SPARKLE's camaraderie we'd feel more than forgotten. We'd feel lost. We're like the short country road that's not on the map. Hardly anyone knows we're here!
