Phil.... I think MY PD-knowledge-level is somewhere between total PD-ignorance and the high level of PD-knowledge which YOU stated you prefer to be at, leaning a little more in your direction rather then the "Uh duh" direction. <smile> ONE thing I can guarantee we BOTH will agree upon is this disease SUCKS!!!!!

I do like understanding what's behind whatever symptoms I'm having. Understanding tends to give me a sense of control, although I recognize that it is a false sense of control. If an explanation of what's going on really provided security, then I would feel secure contemplating the law of gravity while a canoe I'm paddling is being carried over the edge of a waterfall.
