I must add - that I find it quite Ironic that you guys call yourselves
"parkies" !
My dad worked for the NYC department of PARKS and Recreation - and those
guys were called "Parkies" too ! Now he HAS parkinsons.
Once a Parkie - always a Parkie ?
----
On a different note _ I got up the nerve to persue our Central Nervous System
reserch group here - my e-mail message to the VP got bounced around a bit -
but I just got a call from the guy who is head of CNS research -
a clinical neurologists specializing in Parkinsons. I explained my dad's symptoms
and his results with the drugs - basically he said - what you guys have been saying
- is that you have to keep after the dr = don't just take the Rx - go home
and take it and not see him again for 6 months ! He says it should be interactive
trying things until you find something that works.
I've gathered that many of you have done that ...
I guess we're just too used to "folling dr's orders" without question - but
I think we all have to learn to be interactive partners in our own health.
not just follow blindly.
Have a good day.
