Don I realize that everyone approaches problems differently. For example when I was a young child (old enough to think for myself), if I heard a noise or thought a "boogieman" was about to come into my room, I would turn to face the door or window - wherever this imagined intruder would be. I did not want it sneaking up on me from behind. I feel the same way about Parkinson's. I want to face Parkinson's squarely in the face. If we don't get better treatments I realize that PD may come oout on top, but it will not gain the glory of "winning!" I am such a better person since my diagnosis - I know how to prioritize my life. I am not my former career - I am me. Everything has a purpose, and a way out of any situation is always provided. Suicide is not the way. I have been where you are - many of us have whether we admit it or not. If you aren't here (even in your frail condition), how can you help us find better treatments and possibly even a cure? We are all in this together - and we need each other! And W E NEED YOU! If you would like to talk more privately, please email me at [log in to unmask] . Ii won't beat you over the head with religious s tuff, but there is some wonderful guidance in the scriptures. For example James 4:14, "You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." Before we evaporate,, we've got a job to do both for us and for others to stop this suffering from this dreaded disease. We need you, Don!
