Dear listfriends, I sign my posts with "47/10." This tells you I am 47, and have had PD symptoms for 10 years. I count from 1987, when I developed loss of right arm swing and tenting of the right wrist, stiffness of the right shoulder and elbow, and interrupted sleep. I think if all PWP's on the List would standardize our signatures, and indicate our ages, and the # of years since the first PD symptoms appeared, it gives us all a better basis upon which to compare our progress and status in our diverse battles against PD.
