DaTscan available for Parkinson's evaluation #lewybody

YES!! My mom was diagnosed by history and PET scan. I hope that they start using it in the US as well for the diagnosis of LBD and not just PD...not sure I'd have it done for my mom, but it would go SO FAR in increasing the validity of LBD as a separate condition that requires its own treatment modalities, as opposed to the "dementia is dementia is dementia" mindset that is so prevalent in the medical profession today.

Tweets in Space! Some very cool photos here from @astro_ron

What a marvel! Makes me feel so insignificant...then I realize I'm significant enough for Jesus to undergo torture and death on my behalf! That the Creator of all of this vastness - and beauty! - loves me that much...really boggles my mind! Thank you Lord for your creation and for your indwelling Spirit...
