Hi Jo Ann Coen, It is not a matter of being bitter. Since I lost my Dad to PD too, I know that what hurts is the misinformation. Everyone has the right to know. I accept that it was only after coming to this list that I realized that there were PWP who have been living with the desease for over 20 years. But it is equally important for people to know about other cases where PD is fatal. And frankly I don't understand what it means when everyone says that "you don't die of PD but of things associated with it." Listen my Dad never had choking problems when he didnt have PD. He never had toe curling which made walking difficult when he didnt have PD. My dad never had swallowing problems when he didnt have PD. And if he died coz of all these then he did die of PD. And this really isn't bitter. I just want PWP to be informed and CG's to know that every moment is precious.
