my name is lee, and i have battled this desease for almost 16 years, and i have yet to meet anyone who has or have suffered with parkinson's, have experienced any of the same symptoms as i except maybe,

the shakes or trimblers... i have not met anyone locally, who has parkinson's, but i have been in con-

tact with a lady who helpful in reference to my getting a prescription paid for. thank god for her/ms. reed...

if there aren't or if there are any public groups, supportive to those of us who have parkinson's, i think it or they should let the unknowing public know ''we are alive, and we want to be equally recognized, heard

and seen''... perhaps, then we will or should or will get some of the same support in the forms of materials/funds/grants/etc., as other groups do, because we deserve and want it..

''i have been trying to raise funds in or approximately $3000.00 to purchase either a full or small utility-

van, or a s.u.v. large enough to transport my ''hoveroundpower chair'' in, whenever i go to doctors, the clinics, to the groceries, and other places, where i have to either use the chair, or walk up o down long hallways and stairs''... ''i have and/or can offer to pay approximately $3000.00 or a bit more, at a rate of

$100.00 down, and the same $100.00 per month, until the total is paid in full, if i can find a vehicle like the type above... i make this offer because my total income from social security and disability is approximately $750.00 monthly, but i need this vehicle''...

thank you for the time and space taken by my posting, and i hope for any feedback about and on -

parkinson's, is fothcoming...

Here’s a secret for budding entrepreneurs using crowdfunding platforms to finance their projects: It pays to go back for seconds.

Consider the success rates on Kickstarter, the New York-based online platform where users make contributions on projects in exchange for rewards, like an early version of the product.

On average, people raising money on the site for projects are successful in meeting their goals 38% of the time, according to Kickstarter. But new data show that those with one successful project under their belts have nearly double the chances of success—73%—of reaching their next funding goal. And those with five projects have a 91% likelihood, according to the six-year-old site.

Dear Lee, To help you with identifying PD Symptoms, I have created a comprehensive list 100+ PD Symptoms which is available by e-mailing me @ macbunch@Hotmail.com

with 'Symptoms' at the top in the subject line. With 100+ symptoms and a variety of severity degrees, it is not surprising that 'no two people are the same' with PD. I teach a Newly Diagnosed class here in California twice a month. One statement I use is that you could have 10,000 people in an arena and no two would have PD Symptoms the same, similar to retina scans, finger prints, etc.
