TheBanyanTree: Vision and Parkinson's

[Laura Hicks]

Well. That's not just a little bit scary. I have migraines, and the weird
visual blackness floating around in front of me isn't so much scary as "Oh,
no. Not again." I guess if you're sure it's a Parkinson's thing, it may
just be a "not again" thing for you. I hope so. Even then, it's a bit scary.

I've got to say, you're the bravest person I know.
