Yes, Murray, you are definitely in our prayers! And ditto to what you and Gail bring up. PD has a way of breaking down many other normal body systems. There is research out there about the possibility of Parkinson's being an autoimmune disorder (much like lupus). I have problems with such symptoms. We have to keep our other systems "up and running" if we make it through life with this devastating PD!
