I want to thank you all for your welcome. I feel at home here on this list. I am suprised and delighted (in a way) to find so many with the same problems at about the same age. I am also very surprised to find so many of you younger than myself. I am sure we can help each other, at the very least with our commradarie against a common enemy. Please, feel free to contact me through the list or otherwise. I will be glad to have new friends who won't tell me 'a cure is just around the corner' or worse yet 'I know people who live years with PD, it is nothing.' I became so angry at one person that I yelled 'This thing is in my body not yours, so leave me alone!' I've tried to keep my temper since then and treat such people as just ignorant. Anyway, I know this list will be a great support to me. Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask] P.O.Box 129, Redway, CA 95560 work 'the People Center' 707-923-5220 or fax 707-923-5221
