Linda - I feel for you that your husband feels so distressed and depressed about having PD. I think it is often harder for a husband or wife to see their partner's misery than it is to experience it themselves. Has his doctor prescribed an anti-depressant for Darrell? Alcohol surely doesn't help in dealing with the disease; it just numbs your feelings for awhile. You only mention tremor as being a major problem for Darrell. If he has no other major symptoms at the present time, perhaps he should consider one of the new surgical procedures that help control tremor. I'm sure someone on the list could give you more information on the procedures if you ask. He is so young to be so unhappy and you are too to feel despair over what to do to help him. I wish you both the best. Your neighbor in Michigan - Janice Long (54/20)
