I've already made my choice, and I intend to have a great time while I'm 'dying' of pd. Wendy Tebay (I highly recommend Deepak Chopra's book "The Way of the Wizard" for anyone who wants to learn how to create their own reality, rather than becoming a victim of it)<< Wendy, as a philosophy of life, I too believe that one lives with PD or whatever comes ones way, and I have gone about living and adapting to PD for 13 years now. And though I haven't read this particular book by Deepak Chopra, I find his writings most interesting and inspirational, especially "Quantum Healing." Also Norman Cousins' books, esp. the one that has "Head First" as part of its title. But as far as the Udall bill is concerned, which I like you am working on behalf of, I think we need to indicate that the morbidity rate due to PD is under-reported in the statistics Regards, Barbara Blake-Krebs [log in to unmask]
