To all members of the Parkinson Listserv, Barbara graciously re-instated my membership for which I am grateful. I actually was a member, but only stopped the stream of mails temporarily= =2E However the hiatus lasted long enough for the assumption to be made that = I quit. Would that we could quit being a Parkie that easily :-)). Anyway here I am back in the fold, looking forward to read and learn and possibly contribute. I am a male, 76 years old and was diagnosed with PD, in '91. Progress has been extremely slow, for which I am grateful. I can still do= most anything, except lift heavy loads. My meds have been Sinemet CR and Eldepryl, same dosage as in the beginning. Three times a week I participate in Physical Therapy exercises, an hour a= t a time. This is a free of charge service, provided by our very good support group= : The Dallas Area = Parkinsonism Society. = Greetings, Will A. Kuipers <<[log in to unmask]>>
