Monica, Just a note to thank you for your support. I don't do this because it makes me feel good as Teresa claims, but because I believe we are missing a chance for help due to our government's policies. I've had PD over 9 years and never feel good. As a teacher, I was neutral all my professional life. Now my life, yours, and millions of others is on the line. I would speak out if as Henry David Thoreau put it I was a "majority of one", but it does help me keep going to know I can speak not only for myself but for others as well. Here's hoping your new meds regime works well.
