It is >difficult to avoid the stress of life, Ray I've heard neurologists say that stress plays little or no roll in the progression of PD. However, My mother was diagnosed in 1994. At that time she was still driving and living like a normal 73-year-old woman. My dad landed in hospital in 1995 for hip surgery and spent the next 7 months there until his death. During that time my mom's symptoms worsened at a shocking pace. She entered a nursing home and, by the time she died in 1998 was totally dependent on care givers. Do all you can to reduce stress in your life! I'm a teacher. Sometimes I wonder what effect NCLB might be having on my health.-) -- Stephen Rack Brattleboro, VT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
