Re: Driver's License

Barb -  Deep inside, I Knew that parkinson's should be listed on your driver's
license application.  But there are so many physical and mental disabilities.
where do you draw the line?

I used to have tremors and later in my life, I developed stiffness and
slowness.
Alas, to the rescue MIRAPEX.  It is a miracle drug for me.  I rarely have any
off times, and i am able to drive almost any time I want to, except at night
when
I am very tired. Note:  I had this problem before  pd.  I do not feel
handicapped
as I am still playing 9 holes of golf (walking with an electric pull cart)
twice a
week.  On Tues, I shot 54, w hich isn't bad for a  young 63 yr old with l8
yrs.
of this insidious disease.

Each parky must decide himself when it is safe to drive.  I agree with you -
most parkies are safe drivers because most parkies are intelligent beings.

If I were totally out of food, I would scream, then call a friend and borrow
more than a cup of sugar or I would order something over the phone.
However, there is always something in the fridge to eat. isn't there?

I guess the answer to my question is right in front of me - YES, you declare
 pd if questioned.  I have one question, what is organic brain syndrome
which Marling listed in her email.
