I have just returned from NIH again, down on Tuesday, I drive 2 hours to Phila., park car, get on train to Washington, DC, taxi to NIH, reverse on Tuesday night(I am by myself) except shuttle, Metro, Train, pick up car, and drive another 2 hours home. I do the reverse on Friday to pick up Brig, he has just completed a study. That was last week, this week, we did the down on Thursday and home on Friday night(trains packed and sold out), my point is instead of complaining, get yourself in some of these trials. They are begging for people to do this, there is no other way to find what works and what doesn't. Come on people, Brig has been doing this for 15 years(diagnosed 19 years ago), and he is still trying to help find a cure. He has done, Graduate Hospital, Pennsylvania Hospital, and NIH and my husband is no one extraordinary, just a PD person who is hoping his small contribution will help. Call the NIH, they are very accommodating, or go to your local teaching hospital and offer your services, instead of complaining how the rest of the world does not help you. If the NIH should close their Parkinson's Wing, just think how much it will hurt our community, just sitting at the computer and griping does no good, start helping your self. Sure it is scary, but what isn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
