Hi Dan and welcome to the list. With all your professional actvities, it sounds to me that you're coping quite well indeed with PD. Your positive attitude of refusing to slow down no doubt is pivital in this success. In my case, I cope the best I can with the tremor with as positive an attitude as I can muster, regular exercise and, by laughing alot. My neurologist just this week recommended me as a candidate for a DBS operation, so I'm looking at that option. (I hope it doesn't mean Deep Bowel Scrape) Lots of questions. Unfortunately, I seem to have leeched all the good out of sinemet and Mirapex. Well, Dan, welcome again to the list; let us know how things go en Mejico. Keep up your positive attitude and that proud walk. John Bjork (60/20) A View from the Lighter Side Parkinsaw, MI (Imaginary town for PWP) Dan Parker wrote: > All, > > I'm new to the list.
