Barb: An excellent post! It is critical that we look at our total 'self'. Jeannette was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus several years ago by a highly observant PD doctor who is now retired. He saw the symptoms that resembled PD but yet took on a different hew, so he requested the blood work-ups that would tell us about other possibilities. Fortunately for us, he caught it early and we were able to put it into remission via additional drugs. Jeannette still takes a 'light' dosage of Methotrexate to keep the Lupus in check but you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT......don't take anything for granted. Thanks for the reminder.....Jack Barb said: >It's so easy for our physicians, family/caregivers AND us >to lump everything - every symptom, every sensation, every >twinge or quirk, every ill we may have under the "Parkinson's >banner." > <color><param>0000,8080,0000</param>*********************************************************** </color><bold><color><param>8080,0000,8080</param>E.
