As GregD says...
...I like myself as I have become. I feel that PD has brought a certain wisdom with it. Too much of life is consumed by jobs, TV, etc and one day a person wakes up and it is over. I've faced that moment and then realized that I still had a lot of years to fill. Most folks don't get that chance.
Don't hijack the thread but go to the one on "Ginseng" if you are concerned about the cognitive aspects. Download the paper and read it (it is quite understandable). It covers far more than PD and things like Alzheimer's benefit greatly. I am about ready to say we should start it from the first tremor.
