It is not denial, it is believing that the treatment will work, whatever that treatment is. If you don't believe the treatment will work, how can it ever work? If not enough dopamine is being produced, why can't we just tell our brain to produce more? There must be a better way then feeding ourselves all these expensive medications, and the medications are just to relieve the symptoms, nothing more, nothing less. If only the symptoms could be removed, there would be no need for the medications. Maybe if we laughed all the time enough dopamine would be produced to eliminate the symptoms? The trouble with this, is that everyone would think that we were crazy, and what would be better, to be crazy or to have Parkinsons? It is just so hard to believe when there is no logical explanation to be found as to when these symptoms occur. There are also some people who have been diagnosed as having Parkinsons for years, and then it is finally discovered that it was not Parkinsons at all. It is not black and white, there is just too much grey area. Anyway, thanks all, for letting me get this off my chest, I feel better already. [log in to unmask]
