Quite a statement Jacob - but puzzling - is there not a test they could do to enter this info in a computer and come out with some facts. I too worked with methanol re: printing press cleaner - I remember coming home tired and after a nap I could barely breathe - it felt as tho my lungs were deflated. I mentioned it to the doctors but no test was ever taken. Who do we talk to? I've posted this before and really no valid response. Good to hear your version of your PD. Our first grandchild was born Sept. 14 - his name is Jacob.
