I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis. i have a friend, a former coworker, who developed it. It's not a death sentence, but for some it turns into not the easiest thing to live with in the world.
I'm not diagnosed with any particular neurological condition, but i share some of those same mind related things you describe, from time to time anyway....so maybe it's just everyone... (or the way I can't stop eating those delicous lead paint chips, mmmmmmm)
you like my LJ?? It has 2 entries! My real site is http://kisrael.com/ ... I keep meaning to hack up a way to mirror its contents as an LJ but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Re: my friend... well, we weren't superclose, but coworkers, and we worked together on a few small projects. I think she got hit with it later in life. She gets around w/ her canes without too much problem, and raises her son on her own... a few times I discussed various ways of cultivating his interesting in programming. She's a very tough person, but sweet.
I don't know too much about symptoms, besides the motor control stuff. I do know she liked to keep things cool, temperature-wise, otherwise she would feel worse.

:) Thanks for replying. How is your friend doing now? What kind of symptoms does he/she have, if I may ask?
I like your icon. I like your LJ, too. Would you mind if I added you to my friends list?

Ah... that's cool. Yeah, heat makes it worse, a lot worse. Glad to hear she was doing alright, though. It's always nice to hear good news.
You have been friended. ^__^
