Re: 'Bicycle Sign' May Distinguish Parkinson's From Atypical Parkins

[Guest guest]

I could not open this using the link, so I searched Lanclet.com and found

the report. I have attached it here in case someone else has the same

problem. Very interesting. My son heard about this on NPR Friday and was

telling me about it.I was glad to see it on here. Ray didn't ride a bike

much in his adult life but my son says now he is going to ride every year to

see if he still can!! : ) This insidious disease--LBD-- I know all my kids

worry about ending up like their dad and it is not without reason. Leona

Leona: Caregiver for husband Ray, age 68, diagnosed 2/04 with Parkinson's

Disease. Changed doctors, diagnosed 6/06 with LBD. Almost continual downhill

slide no matter what drugs we try. 5/2/08 Ray was placed in Sunrise Nursing

Home in Oswego, NY, 1 hour from home. So far, so good! Hardest thing I have

ever done in my life, however. 3/19/09 transferred to Samaritan Keep NH in

Watertown, NY closer to home. He passed peacefully at 5:18 am on April 14,

2009. I am handling it OK.
