hi i have been reading as much as i can this list & did a lot for udall bill last year & was excited to do my part this year in ca we also wear a silver ribbon for pd & was hoping the whole community could find some symbol in common and maybe some very visual spokes person iwas diagnosed a nov 96, am 51, had just completed myn ca teach credential in 91 have tried to keep very positive attitude doing things i wanted to do all my life ( spend a week w/ friend etc) everything has been progressing very quickly so i have feared it may be other than parkinsons yesterday my doctor said the devestating news-since the meds don't seem to be working -it may be atypical- i haven't cried yet- i had such hopes for the new meds coming out and new research but i don't think there is much research going on atypical, there is one woman in our support group who has it and she was not given long to live i guess i just wanted to tell my story somewhere and to some one i am trying to stay calm for family i have a very supportive husband and two great ciollege age kids would really appreciate some up lifting or otherwise comments on my situation I have been trying to live by god grant me the serenity to accept the things i can not change the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference in need of some support judith([log in to unmask])
