Hi Bruce, My Dad who got PD at the age of 52, always boasted that he had never fallen sick for even a day. He never got flu, no cold, nothing. Infact just when he and Mom made it out of their 40's, he laughed and told her that 40's being the decade most illnesses start, they were lucky to have survived it! Mom used to infact get lots of headaches but dad would tell everyone that he never gets headaches, he gives headaches to others!! So in that sense I cant say that I share in the "phenomenon." Take care Lavanya ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
