Janet's description of "off" times could be my day down to the last sinemet, I liken my day to that of Cinderella always watching the clock for the bewitching hour. It is easy to say when one appears to have reached this COPING stage but it does appear the more one can adapt to living with PD (not for PD!)and instead of fighting it ,comeface to face on equal terms Each morning as I wrestle with the push off tops and look at the army of blue white and peach I say YES!YES! this is going to be a good day, after all it is not only our lives being controlled but the lives of our families too. It is very difficult to explain to those that are suffering so much everyday to try and get into a positive attitude mentally and realise there are people much worse than yourself and get back into life with as much fight for that cure that you can muster,someday it is going to come and I feel that one should be in a s good a condition as possible to take part in this wonderful event that our medical experts predict. So onward christian soldiers get that UDALL BILL on the move....... y the way anyone going to participate in the "Walk ". in Central Park, N.Y. for PD in September. love hope and faith for a cure Margaret Clark 59/11
