What do you get if you strain Irish stew through a muslin cloth? You get a thin, pale, immitation of the real thing; a gruel which may retain some of the flavour of the stew but has little of its substance and nothing of it's texture. No-one could mistake this consomme for Irish stew. What do you get if you strain a personality through Parkinson's Disease? You get a thin, pale, immitation of the real thing; a gruel which may retain some of the flavour of the personality but has little of its substance and nothing of it's texture. No-one should mistake this bland product of parkinson's for me. I'm still here; the same old complex of ingredients that I have always been. I may in fact be even more complex than before as I assimilate the new experiences brought by PD. And that, surely, is true for each of us. Its bad enough having the world at large mistake one of our symptoms for ourselves, lets not compound their error by agreeing with them.
