Kathy K. Sounds like you have been through more than your share of physical problems and PD too. Is this fair? My grandfather used to say, "Life was no bowl of cherries and was never meant to be". I always wondered what that meant and I guess I still do, come to think of it. It does mean expect the unexpected and don't be surprised when it happens which probably gets easier with age and more things happening that you never dreamed of. I really liked what Demoral could do for me when I hurt so bad, but now I wish I could have had something else so the "later" wouldn't be almost as bad as the "then". Thank goodness your Demerol and Eldepryl did not give you a bad reaction. Thanks for your contribution to my questions. Patricia
