Bill, '" It's never too late " or should we say "better late than never" ! ? I opened my Webster's Universal Dictionary and this is what I read: disease n an unhealthy condition in an organism caused by infection, poisoing, etc; sickness, a harmful condition or situation. Parkinsonism n Parkinson's disease Parkinson's diseae n progressive nervous disease resulting in tremor, muscular rigidity, partial paralysis and weakness. You could take a vote for a new name and then try to have it changed. My vote would be "Parkinson's disorder" Good Luck!
