    what i found most disturbing in this story and thread is that the line in the story "Parkinson's disease is fatal and there is at present no cure for it." was left unchallenged. Parkinson's is NOT fatal.  You die WITH Parkinson's you don't die OF Parkinson's.  And  the impression from some of these comments that claim to have Parkinson's don't actually have Parkinson's. I was diagnosed 4 years ago and have been on Sinomet since then (levodopa) and recently Azilect and Stalevo as agonists for the Sinomet.  Due to the inaccuracies in the original story and questionable content in the posts my suggestion would to look for your information elsewhere. I have done enough research to enable me to discuss and suggest potential treatments with both my general neurologist as well as my movement disorder neurologist who is a member of a multinational study goup on Parkinson's.  I also present news stories to family doctor so that he can be as up to date as i am when discuss my care.  Do your research and you can realize that Parkinson's is not that scary Smile
