La Janet ! >[log in to unmask] )Mary Manfredi) thank you so much for your kind words but i feel lucky to be able to do what i can do my interest in charlie's request was partly selfish - from my viewpoint at least, 'pd / hormones / brain chemistry' is a sadly neglected area which merits serious research my 'digging' tendencies are selfish as well - i love doing it - but without the wonderful 'motherlode' of info [as provided by all of us and our messages] that is in our archives at: <http://james.parkinsons.org.uk/> [as conceived and maintained by simon coles] my 'digging' would be fruitless one of the 'costs' to me of having pd is losing the ability to work at a 'normal' full-time job and thus necessitating my application for a government-funded disability pension one of the 'benefits' to me of having pd is losing the ability to work at a 'normal' full-time job and thus necessitating my application for a government-funded disability pension which thus 'gives' me the time and energy to devote to doing what is important to me over a year ago i sent in a couple of messages describing my career/residence 'pickle' summarized as: 'i want to write i want it to mean something it would be nice if it paid the rent too' grace works in mysterious ways... your cyber-sibling janet janet paterson - 51 now /41 dx /37 onset - almonte/ontario/canada [log in to unmask]
