Hi Scott, Thanks for your response to my message regarding PD and artistic abilities. Yes, I see this Forum as a valuable tool in bringing together people with Parkinson's to share ideas, resources and support. When I "research" the "research" being done today relating to finding a cure for Parkinson's I am reminded of how technical and challenging the work is in the fields of genetics, stem cells and environmental science. As I learn more about how complicated and fine tuned the human body is in it's processes to support life I feel in awe of it's complexity (who knew that all of those busy little jobs are going on in each cell of our body). When viewed in this context, our theories about the cause/cure for Parkinson's might appear rather trivial. But, since we are the people who are living with this condition, we may be in the best position to shed some light on it's cause by sharing commonalities we've experienced in our lives.
