Hi Joan....
Hang is there, m'dear. You've earned the right to have
an occasional "PD SUCKS Moment!
In fact, I think we've ALL earned that right, so let's hear it:
(Barb M. sits at her keyboard and yells)
"PARKINSON'S SUCKS!!!"
WHEW! That felt GREAT! Thanks for the inspiration
and the impetus, Joan! <grin>

Subject: Help!
I don't get discouraged or depressed often, but today seems
to be my day! I
get so tired of putting up with this d---- disease! And I've only
been
putting up with it for 9 years! When I know so many of you
have been enduring
it for so many more years, I wonder if I can last so long. You
have my
admiration for your fortitude.
Hope is always with us or we would not be able to endure.
It's just that we
try new drugs, we hear of all these wonderful things like
palidotomy, deep
brain stimulation by electronics, fetal and porcine
transplants, yet they are
always in the future. The new drugs all seem to have the
same side effects
and still we have to depend on sinemet! Thank God for that,
anyway. Thank God
for you "long timers" who show that we can make it awhile
longer day by day,
year by year with our "ups and downs"
I would like to thank you all personally, but the list would be
too long.
Just know that without your participation in this list, life would
be much
harder!
So THANKS, THANKS, THANKS
