Maybe I am just cranky today, but so much has been said of late about poor (in spirit not money) people with aids or als or some other "fast" acting disorder needing sympathy and help that I am about to scream. I think even with the horrible pain, etc. I would rather go in 3 years than live in misery for the next 40 with pd. I cannot say that having pd is better than als. My family are long lived and tend to continue "working" and "doing" all their lives, sometimes in spite of medical conditions. I do not look forward to 40 or more years of shaking, freezing, jerking, and being miserable. No one may agree but 3 to 5 years of misery seems almost a comfort compared to the 40 I have to look forward to. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask] http://members.tripod.com/~marling
