Randy, Do you still practice martial arts? How intrusive are your symptoms? How do you deal with them? How do you keep this damn disease from ruling your life? I was testing for black belt in Nihon Goshin Aikido when I became aware of the PD, and I must admit that I sort of lost it, and 'deserted my path', in a manner of speaking. I don't know if I'll ever get that Sho-dan now. It's a regret for me. I am working on being able to try my hardest, but a loud voice inside keeps telling me, "What's the use? You're out of time," even tho I'm clearly not. Enjoy Fall!
