Tell you friend that finding out you have P is a a gift which we should appreciate. How many people are at this very moment unknowingly, vicitms of a disease from which they will die or at least go into severe convalesence , and have no warning of this condition. We Parkies have a warning--to enjoy life to its fullest while we can. To do this, requires that we actively work with drugs, exercise, and whatever, to maximize our periods of reasonably good health so that we can do those things which give us pleasure. (Which things, by the way, those without a warning probably keep putting off). We can't "unload it", so let's work with it. Rpp33 P12 Age 63 Naples, Florida
