Wrong ended therapy.....


These days I find myself checking in once a week or so with the good people in the YOPA chat room(Young Onset Parkinson's Associan...yopa.org / highly recommended) - 'mentioned in passing that the PD symptoms had really been kicking my butt the past week. Everyone concurred - seems PD was kicking everyones butt.....and then it dawned on me: medician approaches to management of this beast have been ass-backwards - what we need is not more pharmacological hooch to futz with delicate and poorly understood brain chemistry -

...simply stronger butts!
