Hello people, Another "young" parkie has commited suicide. : I invited a dear friend (I'll call him A) to visit me (last Saturday afternoon). He told me the following: Our mutual friend in nearby New Hampshire, B, has recently been diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's at age 47or so. His older brother, C, ALSO a Young Onset Parkinson's sufferer, suddenly stopped taking his medcations. C then, while he could still move, stumbled out into the freezing snow , unnoticed. He was wearing no overcoat or gloves or hat. He couldn't stand up. He slipped into a coma and died of exposure. Family sources say that it definitely was suicide. Why do we have to lose "family" like this??? Isn't time that we start protesting the lack of money, the hollow Udall Bill vote, the way we're being ignored? Can't we have a National or World Day of Protest? I'm so angry, so sad, so frustrated. We are too polite and too civil to gain attention, I guess. WHAT do we do now? Ivan Suzman 48/11 Portland, Maine
