Edith & Mario, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all of your effort with the “How” survey. I hope that more people will participate in this extremely important endeavor. So many of us can recite, “PD is a disease of unknown origin with no known cure” but how many of us can say that we contributed to finding out how it all began? You have provided us that means. Participation in the “How” survey, IMHO, is the getting out of the victim role and doing something proactive to help ourselves. Where did it all begin? I applaud you for not waiting for the “scientists” and “academians” to start the research. You have taken on a project that will not go un-noticed and will benefit so many. I am proud to take your survey to the doctors offices and to the local PD groups and to forward to any that ask. You have done a magnificent job. I am so thankful that I decided to no longer be a lurker on this list. The support that PIEN has given to me and the support I witness the members giving one another is heartwarming. I think I have found a home where there is a true sense of family. If you have not received a copy of the “How” survey, I urge you to contact Edith or Mario and get one. Deborah aka Tenacity But for the Grace of God, Go I! _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
