Hi Folks: In case you skim read the notices and missed Barbara Schirloff's message of 1/20/97 you should consider reading her message in total to get a feel for the PAN and the political leadership we are getting from them. [log in to unmask] PS to the newly diagnoised PWP My observations are that when you are first dianoised with PD the doctor perscribes sinamet and you return relatively back to normal. Your initial response is that i can handle this disease no problem. But as time goes on the disease wears you down to the point where it is a struggle to do the simples task. Energy consumed to do most routine chores becomes exhausting. after typing this note I will be too tired to edit it s an example. The purpose of this comment is to incourage the newly diagonised PWP not to be deluded and to utilize your energy level to support all PD efforts especially PAN and its efforts to pass a significant research bill for us. Back to packing boxes for the move
