Phil Tompkins - You just beat me to the punch in wanting those of us with PD to not only complain (and there are grounds for that) but count our blessings for all that is being done for us. Some of the new medications, in my case Mirapex, have made a great difference. I, like everyone else, am hopefully anticipating a cure and SOON but I also can vividly remember my mother-in-law who died almost 30 years ago, before any of our most helpful drugs, this was at a time none of us in her family had ANY realization of what she was going through with Parkinsons. The medication she used gave her terrible hallucinations and her terror was very real. Thank you God for the progress that has been made and a family who understands what I am going through. helenjc
