Phil.... I think MY PD-knowledge-level is somewhere between total PD-ignorance
and the high level of PD-knowledge which YOU stated you prefer to be at,
leaning a little more in your direction rather then the "Uh duh" direction.
<smile>

ONE thing I can guarantee we BOTH will agree upon is this disease SUCKS!!!!!

I do like understanding what's behind whatever symptoms I'm having.
Understanding tends to give me a sense of control, although I
recognize that it is a false sense of control.  If an explanation of
what's going on really provided security, then I would feel secure
contemplating the law of gravity while a canoe I'm paddling is being
carried over the edge of a waterfall.

Best wishes,
