Hi, my son tells me that he read in USA Today that Johnny Cash has been diagnosed with Shy Dragers and not PD. Apparently he's been to Vanderbilt this week and had the diagnosis confirmed. Does anyone have any details? Joan Martin, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada PS - also, found the following on the PD Listserv. It's definately good news, not only for PD patients, but also those with MSA, SDS, MS, ALS, etc.... A compromise on national testing removes threat of presidential veto of the labor, HHS, Education appropriations Bill to which the Udall Bill has been amended. This should mean passage of the Udall Bill any day. Put the champagne on ice! Jim Cordy Pittsburgh [log in to unmask]
