My husband simply retired from teaching once he became too weak to stand before a class, or when the shaking became so much of a distraction that he couldn't concentrate on lecturing. This may have been a capitulation, but in retrospect it was the wisest thing we could have done, especially since my job could substitute good income. This way we could concentrate on him and his medical needs, and on achieving the best quality of life possible under the circumstances. I have no way to help you, but add this comment only for what it's worth. k. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mrs. Karin M.
