Last week my neurologist was babbling (and he doesn't babble) about PD research and news he'd recently heard from several different drug company representatives he uses to search for and bring research papers for him and report on different things they've heard and can show. He thinks that within the next (very) few years there will be medications which can halt PD; or an out right cure for it. He said a much greater amount of money is going to be poured into research because of all the attention being given PD. Such news should be cause for a brighter outlook. Maybe the greater number of PWPs due to we baby-boomers will be the cause. If it is not stopped here, just think how many gen-Xs there will be for the insurance companies and governments to take care of. It simply can not be afforded or tolerated any longer. I decided that I'm going to be like my friend's grandmother who was told by the doctor that she had cancer and replied, "No thank you, " and she set her mind to it, and after a while really did beat the cancer. I decided "No thank you," I decline to have PD, it will not progress and I am going to cure it; I have felt much better. AND NO ONE HAD BETTER BURST MY BALLOON! :-)) I like it like this. the Dog's maid, Sue Subject: Re: re mirapex- Sir James Maiden Sherry wrote: Dear Sir, I am also a cry baby!!! I just joined the list recently and find it very helpful...sometimes. I am in the early stages and am lucky enough to be able to still do most things. Sometimes I find that I am depressed by the future and reading all the posts from people suffering more than me with this disease doesn't cheer me at all....
