Dear Barbara: I am a CG for a Barbara, thus I do not know what it feels to have PD, but I have lived with it day in and day out for ten years. It is difficult and painful for both of us with the frequent falls and 'off ' periods. I have medical problems too that interfere with normal living, such a triple coronary bypass. Yet, we try to look at the positive aspects of our afflictions and do what we are able to do and not delve on what was. We can still love, and care, and hug, and go to museums, theatre, movies, parks, concerts, restaurants, and we can still be with family and friends. We are active within our support group which has become an extended family and we support each other and do better because we empathize and understand each other. The positive will make you better until we find the cure. Michel Margosis 'Carpe Diem'
