Like, thanks for the excellent reply, Jimmy, eh? Doesn't everyones name end in a 'y' ? Yes, you are correct in all your diagnosis methods, except you missed the most important one of all. That one is belief. If you believe that the Sinemet will not work, it won't, no matter what illness you do or don't have. That is why the Placebo works so well so often, it is not the drug, but the belief that works. We still do not understand the mind, for example, can we, by just believing, cure an illness? Anyway, that is my two cents worth, not here much these days, just too busy to remember that I have PD. That reminds me, why do we call it a disease? If you have cancer, you don't say I have cancer disease. If you have Aids, you don't say I have Aids Disease. But if you have Parkinsons, you say, I have Parkinsons Disease!? [log in to unmask]
