Over the past 5 weeks, the range of subjects from extended discussion on drugs and symptoms to the personal situations of list members has intrigued and helped me. At an early stage of PD, I garner hope for the future, both at an intellectual and personal level. Some mail interested me more than others, but I would not have stopped any. Having had a 1000 items to plough through after being away unexpectedly, it did not take too long to go through the list, just brutal with the delete button. I didn't do the correspondents justice, but at least I skimmed them. Please do not stop telling me there is hope of working another 14 years, or that in 20 years time I will take a holiday some where or there's a wonder cure around the next corner.
