Hi everyone. This is Rao from the old BT, but now just plain Fiona. Much less confusing. Finally made it here, and it will take me a little while to catch up with you all. Recently came back from a month in Colombia working on spiritual and physical healing with indigenous shamans in remote Andean highlands..best, most amazing trip of my life. Everyone says I look as I did in 1990 since I've come back. Working on different possibilities for dealing with PD, and will be more specific when I have some quantifiable results, but I feel very positive and hopeful.

I'm back in rehearsal with my nine-member dance company - performed solo in Colombia, first time in eight years at least! I still have problems with gait often, and off periods and dystonia with the meds, but I am much calmer, happier, healthier, and feel confident that I'm going to solve this problem, and get away from these stupid meds somehow.

Meanwhile, looking forward to further conversations with you all.
fond regards,
Fiona
