I just discovered this, don't know if I'm delusional but it makes me very happy, How's that for a lure?
Most mornings my dog, Olivia, and I go for a walk. We greet neighbors, look for as many varieties of birds as we can find, talk to my daughter in IL and have a pretty good time. Last month I got a new iPhone 4. When I was talking to Robin (the daughter not a bird) she asked me why I didn't use the

A New - Old Drug That Is Making a Major Difference for Me
I have long been convinced that there are nuggets of gold buried in the massive accumulation of 40 years of research that has built up since Ldopa took the stage. Common sense tells me that it is not possible for such a huge amount of data spread over several disciplines to build up without overlooking

For the baby boomers-Do you think recreational drug use in the 60s.70s contributed to PD?
During the late 1970s, a controversial program sponsored by the US government sprayed paraquat on marijuana fields in Mexico.Since much of this marijuana was subsequently smoked by Americans, the US government's "Paraquat Pot" program stirred much debate. Perhaps in an attempt to deter people from using

Haloperidol - Do you know what this is and if not, you need to...
Hi - I am rather new here and so far, am liking it a lot. I was misdiagnosed with lupus when I was 32 and eventually was correctly diagnosed with YOPD. Looking back, I can see the progression of PD, while thinking it was lupus and why was I not seeing a change while being treated. Tricky diseases.

some benefits(?) of having Parkinsons
This morning I thought of a few "benefits". Feel free to add on if you think of any. I do not need an electric toothbrush I do not need to worry about sobriety tests – I can’t walk a straight line anyway I won’t accidently volunteer for something I don’t want to do as I am already shaking my

Parkinson's: progressing the cure in haste but with patients
When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I was relieved to be told that it was not terminal and that it was possible a cure could be identified before too long. Fifteen years later, there has been no real marked improvement in the treatment of the condition let alone a cure. Parkinson’s may not be a “killer

Parkinsons awareness bracelet
I saw a post on face book for a "Parkinsons awareness bracelet. The bracelet had the words ,"Be Brave" on it. Something about this seemed unsettling to me. I think that the "Cure" for Cancer is marketed everywhere and so it should be..But why would you want to support Parkinsons research by telling people

As easy as riding a bike
One of the most striking aspects of Parkinson's disease is the capacity for cerebral compensation. By that I mean that alternative pathways and strategies are found to ensure that function is preserved. We already know for instance that between 80 and 90% of all striatal dopamine must be lost before
