Barb M., Marling--I suppose feeling alone with PD is something all PWPS experience in the "real world", no matter how nurturing the virtual one here may be. I think it must be devastating at times to have to work in an environment where others are so unaware--and in some cases where one wants that unawareness as a shield, for fearof losing one's job. I know of one PWP who struggles daily both to keep working ast his very responsible professional post, AND to HIDE his symptoms so that his colleagues don't know he has PD! What a torment that must be at times, and how truly alone one in that position must feel. One of the good things about the fellowship of these lists is that PWPs can"vent" their feelings here, as CGs can on CARE in a safe and supportive place. We all need that, along with the info and humor, and poems and advocacy. Robert Frost wrote that "home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." And in a way, these lists are that kind of "home" for us....so, "make yourselves at home , folks" :-) .
