Dear Parkinson's members: I too saw Michael J. Fox and I thank him for helping out. I have an idea for the people that has probably not been talked about, but am going to be brave and suggest it. I have been told that I have had Parkinson's for 13 yrs. and have been taking Sinemet for it. I know well the on-off part of it. It is not much fun, especially for the caretaker who gets burnout easily and has problems of his own. People like me with Parkinson's, Diabetis, Cerebral Palsy, etc ...all need a cure or long time care eventually. I gently suggest that able bodied families have a tax set aside for at least $50 to $100 depending on income, even $25. for help and a cure. Remember, you may also be old some day with pressing health problems and they can strike at any age. This may be an answer. Susan Michael [log in to unmask]
