Hi Tulip Girl,

Thank you so much for your "antidote" posting. I was so upset after reading the long and very sad one above that it was just what I needed.

My husband had been diagnosed for just one year now, and has recently started taking Madopar along with his RequipXL. Fortunately he is very upbeat about it all, but I struggle daily to keep my spiritis up, and cry such a lot (when alone of course).

It's very hard to remain positive, especially after reading some of the dreadful suffering posted in detail here, but your posting was so uplifting, and I just wanted you to know what it has done for me.

I wish you all the very best for the future and hope you keep as well as possible.
