Jane et al.... I have the feeling that Janet Reno knows what SHE'S going thru as she deals with PD. However, I betcha she knows no other people with Parkinson's to even compare symptoms and experiences with. This, because I simply can NOT picture her sitting there at a PD support group and talking about constipation or drooling with others in the same boat that she's in. It's like she's THINKS she's traveling on the Loveboat, when she's REALLY on the Titanic! When she notices her feet are getting a little wet, she prolly isn't TOO worried about it. When she's frantically dog paddling with a bunch of other "travelers" who are ALSO trying mighty hard just to stay afloat,. I would HOPE she FINALLY wakes up and realizes she's not alone with Parkinson's. And THAT'S whe she becomes aware there're millions of others out there who have the same disease that she does, but that they also have a slew of have different symptoms. Yup, I think Ms. Reno has most likely READ alot about PD, and prolly spoke to her physician(s) about it, but hasn't spoken to one other PERSON with Parkinson's.
