CHRIS: One study concerns drugs. One study concerns disease physical progression [pet scan] One study concerns cognitive changes. One study concerns dexterity. One study will deal with exercise. One study deals with environment changes. All researchers are aware of the other studies I am in. I have become a sort of messenger boy between institutions. I am becoming a well documented subject and hope that by being involved in different studies that some synergies may develop. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.

How come you are involved in two studies at the same time. The new drug you are taken may influence your physical therapy study and vice versa. Chris
