Pretty interesting article

"Indeed, I have lost count of the number of people with PD who have said something to me along the lines of "my friends and family have abandoned me/don't visit/lost touch". The negative feedback loops between loneliness and disease progression can be one of the most vicious circles of PD. "

Man that is a lot of good information. I think I will print it out, read it and then leave it lying around the house on coffee tables. I guess a lot more effort on our part to be available and sociable is required. But as Kermit the frog said "Its not easy being green"

I suppose that a little extra effort to transmit good vibrations is in order. My ability to understand what the other person sees and feels during an interaction with me needs a lo of work. Sometimes I just dont care any more as much maybe as I should.

I suspect "How are you today ?" should not be answered by "Why do you ask"
