Tom I have been curious about this myself. Where should I send my personal bio?

I have felt all along my symptms seem mild compared to others who post here. It seems that i remember my Neuro inferring that might be so as he discussed the group of systtems displayed in my case. I ask thisquestion for a cople of reasons. One being to verify if possible, a way we all could project our road that lay before us, if so desired. Another, to see what impact our prescribed meds are having on us comparatively speaking. This may not bbe possible considerinig the individualistic naturee of PD. Part of my interest is to determine how i am progressing/reggresssing as well as thosse that read the list are doing that have been takng nutritional supplements comparable to the PWP group represented here. I am turning 50 in 2 weeks. I wasdiagnosed in late '92. I started typing this at 6:00 AM and have not medicacted yet and wont until 8:30 or 9:00. If a strong link can be shown to support the advantages of supplementing, then others who aren't maay want to start. Don't expect an enthusiaastic edorsement to consider beginnning supplementation from your Dr.s. The majority of members of the medical profession look at such trivia with diisdain(not much offense intended). Fortunateely, therre are some who have brokemn away from the blinders imbedded by their insufficient one 3 hour course in med school that now embrace the undeniable benefts from supplemnting. There is much to ebe said of the array of suppements availaable and an equal array of noticable improvements due to the quality of the supp;ements. > If you haave any negativefeed back please respond off the list. If u must be acckowledged as a word smith i will or you can indicate your response to the list so readers will beaware of this. Of course any crirtigue is welcomed where ever. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
