A poem I sent in long ago.........

[Guest guest]

Subject: A Cruel Future that Could be Yours

>

> I am writing this letter hoping that your show could produce a

special

> show for all of us who are coping with a disease known as Lewy Body

> Disease. Surprisingly enough, many doctors are unaware of it, yet

many of

> us cope with it in our daily lives. It is a disease very difficult

to

> diagnose since there are no conclusive tests to identify it. It's

> similarities are akin to Altheimers, well known to the general

population

> and Parkinson's, especially since Fox has become afflicted

and is

> spearheading research into its cure.

>

> I belong to a few support groups, one on Yahoo Communities and

another on

> braintalk communites. This has been very enlightening for my family

as my

> mother is suffering from Lewy Body Disease. It has robbed us of the

> person we once knew and our hearts ache for her. She suffers from

> shaking, a shuffling gait, memory loss, loss of appetite, depression,

> loneliness, devastating hallucinations often requiring restraint and

the

> loss of a life that was so productive and healthy.

>

> I would really like to see the aging public of the United States and

> Canada become aware of the symptoms of this disease in the hopes that

> increased awareness would result in increased grants to study the

disease

> and assist those who's lives have been so terribly changed.

>

> Thank you for listening......
