Hi Gerry: If it was harsh it is because you have feelings and emotions for the stupid disease. I have it also and I will fight until I can't fight anymore. I was in shock in the begining but then came all the questions. How? Why? What can I do? Well first off one doctor tries to overdose me on Permax. I have new doctor now. I want research full scale, I want to walk with doing it with a cane so I don't fall. I want to get up and not feel that my back just fell out. I am so tired of these rotten tremors I could spit. I asked about Oprah because I just didn't know. As I stated I don't watch Daytime or Nighttime Talk shows. Some have these shows thought up by a team of idiots passed off to people. I will send in my post to her. I will do almost anything to help the cause. As I am part of the cause. I want to be part of the solution and part of the problem. Thank you for your determination.
