Marie, I appreciate the thoughts. It is very consuming at this point in my life. It seems that some of the list members have learned to cope, deal, accept, and reason with this vicious disease with time. Maybe one day I too will have the wisdom to deal with it. At this point I think my serious attitude is simply because of the unknown. I look to the list to get information, real life information, information from those who live each day with PD. You can not get this type of information from a book. Thank God for the list. I think that my response has left the impression that I do not have a sense of humor. My family read the post and follow up about Non-Pd and Pd. Their first question was "who are they talking about, that doesn't have a sense of humor?" Well, I told them that the post were about my comments, and they all laughed, thinking that anyone who knows me, knows having a sense of humor is one of my best traits. I meant no harm to those of you enjoy the humor of the list. You must understand, you and others have had time to educate yourselves, time to adjust, and maybe you have forgotten the first couple of years after diagnosis. Remember when you first found out, the concerns, fears, the tremendous need for information, the tears, the family reaction, the peer reaction, the work reaction and the just plain anger... that is where I am. I appreciate the list, it has been a God-send. So, please, do not think badly of me, I can only hope that I too will at some point be able to help others as most of the list posts have helped me. Have a great day, I will get better (in understanding) Paul Ayers General Manager Universal Consulting, Inc Indianapolis, Indiana 317-577-1502 317-558-1026 http://www.uciconsult.net [log in to unmask]
