I sent a similar message earlier today but don't know if it got through as we had bad lightening hits and were told to get off the computers; which I did. So this may be a repeat about the PD questionnaire someone wants to develop for getting grass roots input as to the cause or causes of PD. I think it is an excellent idea but will be extremely difficult to develop a simple document that gets the information wanted; it's a very complicated problem and complicated disease. My one suggestion is to directly ask the PDers "What do you think caused you to get PD? In my case I point my finger toward liver damage from Nizoral. And toward a possible case of Lymme Disease. And toward yeast infections all occuring around the same period of time. This last (yeast infections) do those little yeast critters in their metabolism produce alcohol that gets to the brain? Have other women with PD reported yeast infections? When I ask these kind of questions of MDers they either ignore the question or give me that "are you all right in the head look." I will be leaving the list for about 5 months but Southeast Mo. Univ. has made access to this list available to Dave Robertson a member of the Cape Girardeau support group and he will be monitoring it and reporting back to the group. So, even though it says Margaret Mates on the header it will really be from Dave Robertson from now on. Thanks to everyone for all the information and support and to Barbara Patterson my heartfelt gratitude for starting this bulletin. Margaret Mates [log in to unmask]
