Thank you Robert, for your forceful answer to that comment on people being diagnosed after 55, I e-mailed Judith, to find out if it was misquote, because if not, I think we as a group need to inform this gentleman, about the real world.And another thing, all I heard about Michael J. Fox, was that he and other Parkinson people would be able to lead normal lives, ( live in the real world.) What about all the people now who need SSI and have PD., they'll get it in nothing flat because they can lead a normal life(Right) Must admit my family tells me I'm the queen of sarcasim, probably true!!!! Almost forgot, most neuros will tell you that you have the symptoms TEN years before diagnosis. Gerryand Brig 59/12
