I have lived with PD for 30 years. I also have a sister with PD. I have 2 mutations of my Parkin and a F-DOPA scan confirmed my diagnosis. Was wondering if there were any other old-timers out there. I have made many friends over the duration of my living with PD: Paula, Tom Berdine, Big Bear, Carolines' porch, Tenacitywins, Laura Dean, Russell Armstrong, Indigo (Carey,) Charley. So many intelligent, artistic and dedicated individuals. I am feeling lonely for my old friends. I feel the sadness conveyed by the old Beatles tune, "Has anyone here seen my old friend Martin, Can you tell me where he's gone? He helped a lot of people, but he sure died young, Abraham , Martin and John."
