Pat, >Arthur, > I agree with what's been said here up to a point. While this may be "as good as it gets" regarding the disease's progression, I have seen in many cases, including my own, an IMPROVEMENT in function because of better control of medication. The words were mine not Arthur's, and you are quite right in saying that we need to take advantage of every advance that is made. In my own mind I had that aspect covered by the words "for the foreseeable future". As PD doesn't make us mindreaders I should have been more explicite. > So all is not doom and gloom. While our general direction may be downhill, it's not a direct route, but encompasses many hills and valleys. It is interesting that you see seeeing things as they are as a source of doom and gloom. For my part I find I need to see things as they are in order to move past them to that place where happiness is not conditional on my physical condition.
