Anyone with PD that can find anything positive about it needs to
have the last remaining viable neurons in his/her brain examined.

Maybe I am too shallow.  I can't see where  losing your job,
fracturing your family, straining your marriage, and taking 20
minutes to dress are such wonderful life experiences.  Is it me?
