Good morning Karen, And it is a good morning. In the words of the Mayo Clinic neurologist who diagnosed me about 16 years ago, "Of all the neurological diseases, you have the most treatable." I am Philip Lammers of Oostburg, Wisconsin (between Milwaukee and Green Bay). I, as you was diagnosed at age 42 and had 3 children. At that time my teen aged son had a best friend living only two blocks from us who also had a father living with PD. They did some comparing of notes. I have not lost one day of work because of PD other than visiting my doctor every six months. I have been fortunate enough to experience such enjoyable things as a two week motorcycle to the Smokey Mountains and was involved on a number of work trips to flood ravaged areas in Illinois several years ago. I credit this in part to a more conservative doctor now treating me, a desire to keep busy and not let it beat me. Most of all, however, I give praise to God in whom I have learned to put my trust and faith. Good luck, Phil
