Tomorrow is my 67 birthday, and I don't mind growing older at all, I just wish I had saved the energy & money I expended trying to go from specialist to specialist, praying for a cure, wanting one of them to tell me the rest were wrong. For the last 5 or 6 years I have finally learned to accept my PD and not go chasing half way around the world seeking cures. I too pray for a cure, but for the younger ones, and to eradicate it, but for myself, I'd just be happy if it didn't get any worse.
