I don't know what it is in my postings that make you think this about me. I can assure you that I am happy, well-cared-for, both by my doctors and my primary caregiver, my dear wife, and very much occupied every day. I still work, though not in a full-time,9-5 job. I am a small cog in a PD research team. Until recently, I taught at a technical college, and I still write notes and source material for them. I am liked and respected in my field. I think PD is a s**t of a disorder, and resent the impositions it makes on my life, but I think life itself is great, and look forward to sharing it each day with my family and friends. I am not depressed, nor do I think that my life is hopeless, and I look forward to the possibility of cures, preventative medicines, new drugs and medical procedures that might flow from the Udall Bill. Are you sure you have the right fella? Or are you mistakenly taking my comments on our research teams findings as applying to me personally? I don't know what else to say to you to convince you that I am not in need of help (at least no more than the next guy). Keep Well, Jim 59/13 [log in to unmask]
