HI Robert... Regarding your comment about a PD place on MSN, well youv'e certianly found the right person to tell ya about THAT!!! I'm not only on the PD listserv group as a member with PD, I also am the MSN Forum Manager of the Chronic Disease & Disorders Forum, home of the Parkinson's Place BBS! The CD&D "go word" is ChronicDisease, and I'm going to send you a "Shortcut " ot our forum under seperate email so's you'll be able to go directly to us. Briefly, CD&D is one of hte single largest forums on MSN, and as I've said, as it's Forum Manager, I happen to actually HAVE Parkinson's. Oddly, tho, even tho I've created an info filled BBS devoted entirely to PD, and the individual with PD and their caregiver, that BBS is rarely used. ALL other BBSes for all other diseases and disorders are lively places, except for the PD place. Weird! One last thing - Dr .Robert Iacono and his famed Movement Disoder Team of Loma Linda University School of Medicine Neurosciences Dept., with Tony Schoonenberg as Team Coordinator are our REGULAR ever-Thursday-nite-at 6 pm-guest chat hosts! Ya cannot beat THIS bunch!!! Lookin' forward to seeing you online...

Stumbled on the realization that while I didnt enjoy waking up-I sure enjoyed going back to sleep-so now think " It feels so good" after I tinkle and go back to bed-it works! Almost would miss waking up- Another topic-I find climbing up steps is much worse than going down- I tend to fall backward -does anyone else experience this?Any thoughts? Another topic-a friend has ms-does anyone know of a msn digest like our PD ? Appreciate very much any suggestions. In signing off -mention that my computer got ILL and it took 50 days to have it fixed with a service contract-life's little frustrations! the best to you all- [log in to unmask]
