Sorry for the garbled message that I had posted before. I am reposting this and hope it turns out right this time. Hi everyone. I wonder who is still here and remembers me!. I am a retired 59 yr. old M.D. I had stopped working about 6 years ago. I have had PD about 16 years. I was in a fetal transplant group and got the actual; cells and a case of runaway dyskinesia as a result. It has been controlled well by my DBS which needs to be on continuously and now has been replaced twice ( for batteries) and which I have had since 1999 I was a regular on this listserv for about 3-4 years back until about September of 2001. At that time My computer went down and I lost a lot of the addresses I had and my Internet provider changed suddenly. And I became lazy and a little tired of some of the petty bickering on the list So I took the opportunity to leave for a while. But I missed you guys and realized how you kept me involved with so much in the way of people and ideas- so here I am back again. I noticed a lot of familiar names like John Cottingham, Murray Charters and Bob Fink (with whom I rarely agreed but always respected ). And I wonder who else is out there.
