Dear Judith, I am new to the list and have been listening in to all the garbage, mostly of which I delete along with the spam I get constantly. However, many of your extremely informative posts I have filed in my parkinsons folder. I am in the process of learning about and learning to adjust to this disease and I have found your posts a wealth of information. I hope you will reconsider. I work in the summertime with the general public airbrushing t-shirts for 12 to 14 hours a day and have learned that much of what is said in a day must be taken with a grain of salt. If you let it get to you, you might as well call it a day and in my case, that means no income that day. And that may be the day that someone comes along to make it all worthwhile. I hope I am not speaking out of turn here, but I do wish you would hang in there and keep helping the ones of us who need you.
