By the time I went to the neurologist, I was pretty certain I had Parkinson's, and had a list of symptoms a mile long. Then he questioned me further, and got me even to admit, "Yes, I drool occasionally." Share everything...why would you want to not tell him everything? I surfed the net and found out more about it, and sure nuff, I was right. It was almost a relief when he asked me "What do you think you have? To which I replied, "Parkinson's." His response was: "You're right." And I felt a 10 ton weight lifted. Since then, I've read until I became uncomfortable about it and stared projecting into the future. Now, I have few qualms..I just take a day at a time and refuse to allow tomorrow's possibilities get in the way of today's enjoyment! And I'm still enjoying life! Cheers, Brenda P.S.
