-- [ From: Donna Kipp * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Well, I have learned a valuable lesson. Ii was hoping my Sensitivity topic would die a graceful death but it seems to keep reappearing. Obviously, I am in a very small minority-so be it. We all go through different stages with this disease and obviously I am in a different place then many in this board. I did not coin anyone "cruel" I have reposted my original note so all in doubt can see. I am sorry if people took offense. ..............Donna I hope I don't start a major skirmish but after a recent posting I felt compelled to write. I understand that caretakers have many concerns that they must air but I for one would appreciate more sensitivity in dealing with descriptions of people with end stages of PD. To describe in detail the last stages of PD is unecessarily negative and frightening to many people on this list. There are many people who are newly diagnosed or are in mid stages and fighting the daily battles that are involved in trying to keep up a life style that is a constant struggle who do not need or want to hear about end stage PD or for that matter neither do their caretakers. I don't know how this problem can be solved but when posting please think twice of your audience!!!......... Donna
