Well, after nearly a year of "discussing" this computer with the manufacturer, and replacing the hard drive, it is still locking up and losing little things like the operating system, so they are going to replace the memory, processor and CD-ROM next week. In the meantime, I have again lost all your email addresses and messages. Please resend them to me after the 29 of Sept, when, hopefully, I will have most of this replaced. If this doesn't work, please locate the Ken clone "computer repairman extrodinare" and send him back down this way..... And I hit the jackpot with my new neuro. She did her internship at Chicago and is very knowledgeable in movement disorders. She confirms I do NOT have pd, but instead thinks its a non-typical type of MS. Until she gets the hospital tests results back (oh goodie, more needles....) she has diagnosed me with a degenerative or demylanting disorder with secondary dystonia and parkinsm symptoms. She also thinks she can treat the dystonia and decrease the pain which is such GREAT news to me. One thing she told me I thought might be useful to the entire list, the same meds which work for Parkinson's can also be effective for treating the parkinism symptoms without a person having a "true" Parkinson's disease. Basically, she said yes the meds could work quite well, and me still not have pd, or pd +, or any of the other wrong diagnosis I have received in the past. Once again, I would like to thank the entire list for the support you have provided me in the past year, and ask for your patience while I get the computer (and me) "fixed" one more time...... tex AKA bob armentrout [log in to unmask]
