Barb Patterson has said it right! Sounds too good to be true...and we know what that usually means...it IS too good to be true. We have a lot of valid complaints about side effects and on/off, etc. with the Parkinson's medications available to us but those drugs are the BEST that have ever been available, in the history of the world,to control the symptoms of Parkinson's. We have a lot of valid complaints about the neurologists and family practitioners who are our health care partners in dealing with pd, but they are among the most knowledgable people ever, in the history of the world, in treating Parkinson's. We have valid complaints about support groups and communications about Parkinson's but we have each other on this list and we have web sites and chat rooms... more opportunity than anyone ever, in the history of the world, to compare, share, grieve,laugh, ask, and support each other about day-to-day living with Parkinson's. I think that the day of the 'snake oil' sales people is at an end. I just wish they realized it and stopped trying to sell their potions on our list. Barb *********** Present day treatment of PD is uncertain; Life is uncertain. Present day treatment of PD is incomplete; Life is incomplete. Tomorrow's treatment of PD will be better, but still uncertain because we will expect more. Tomorrow's treatment of PD will be better, but still incomplete because we will see further. George Andes 62/14 and still baffled by it all.
