To:John Cottingham. JC: So now it is your turn - Who is John Cottingham and how come you know how to dredge up the listserve archives? You answered me once with a pithy "you know who I am." I don't you know. I probably was off on one of my missions (tangents?) when you or someone explained you. Or I was licking my wounds after being flamed last year. I mean - do you have PD? Do you live in California? Do you know Cheryl Waters MD. Should I move to California? (Barb Mallut and Alan Bonander can jump in here - who is JC?) All: There have been a bunch of stress messages of late. Parkies don't tolerate stress at all - some may think you are getting old or strange but if you find yourself in a stressful situation just get in a recliner chair and shift into neutral for awhile. Kathrynne Holden, RD - What a thorough rundown on Protein vs Sinemet. Many thanks. You are appreciated on this BBS - that's obvious. I don't have your write-up of last week PD and Protein. I sent a request for it via your e-mail - maybe you didn't receive it. I would appreciate having it - the copy I got on my machine was mucked up a bit with letters, numbers and other signs.
