Ruth, Welcome. You are so right about the news media. I get tired of well-intentioned people telling me they read or heard of the latest treatment for PD and I should not worry any more about having it. The news media makes it sound as if having a progressive incurable disorder is ok because there is always something new to "fix" us and the complete cure is coming on the market "tomorrow". don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
