Angela Its bad enough getting PD when you are middle-aged or old, but children and young people who suffer from incurable diseases and injury suffer from the worst injustice of all and such a situation should not be tolerated by a "civilized" society. In the best of circumstances research is too slow. I'm just hoping that Margaret is young enough to benefit from what I only hope is a more science-friendly era. Feedback helps me when I select articles for posting and your comments remind me I need to do a better job. Credit must go to Diane Wyshak, fellow PWP and cancer fighter, who sends me up to 200 emails a day.
