Bernard I like the JOBS idea. I have been going for job interviews for the past few weeks, and I'm not brining up the subject of PD at the interview. I try to slide my right hand under my leg as I sit down to hide the tremor. So far I have not got called back after any of my interviews, so maybe I'm not hiding it as well as I thought. I'm also interested in people who do tell their employer that they have PD, and how the employers have reacted. To tell or not to tell. That is the question.
