George, Appreciated your comments on dealing with this PD "cat". The aspect of knowing what is goint to happen and not knowing when or to what extent,(but probably bad), is difficult to live with. Did depression come before or after the PD diagnosis? "The nicest people get PD", was said to me by a Doctor. Does this mean I should encourage others not afflicted to be nasty and ill-tempered to save themselves? Patricia 60, one & a half yrs.
