I simply forgot to do this, Jean. I'll get right on it.

And people can be complacent if they don't want to see a cure, which doesn't include me!

Just a little statistical lesson:

PD is an age-related illness - there are 80 million (not a typo!) of us babyboomers hitting the age 60 mark within the next few years. What is the average age of onset for PD? Yep - age 60. Medicare won't be able to handle us all at once - and no meds means no movement - no swallowing - no walking without wheelchairs or walkers, and . . . do you get the picture?

We need a cure! We at least need better treatments, so if you don't feel an obligation after reading this, then I'm either not very convinccing or you are apathetic. (wow! I got nasty on this one!)

But you are very much needed for trials - go find one that suits you - PLEASE!
