Rayilyn, I hope you don't mind if I jump in on your email message but I know just what you're talking about. Trying not to complain or show the signs of my malady (that isn't the right word) but as the old song goes "I'm laughing on the outside and crying on the inside" trying to make everyone think "I'm just fine." I even try to hide it from my neuro - how about that"! Just to name a few things - hard to get out of bed, hard to button buttons, hard to pull on slacks even harder to zip and button them, hard to open packages of food, hard to take a shower and dry off, hard to wash my hair, put on shoes, my feet are deformed from rheumatoid arthritis, etc. etc. etc. I'm sounding like a real complainer but I guess what bothers me most is I keep trying to hide it. I pray all the time for a cure for those who are young and have such terrible problems. At least I am 72 and have had most of my life PD-less. Love you all, Marilyn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
