I wonder how many grand you have to be down to start making up stories like this....
To: Kokojmudd
This should raise the cost of the drug...and enrich lawyers. Damn the suffers, the lawyers have families to support in grand style!

Sounds to me like the guy is still gambling.
Gambling on whether or not a big name lawyer is paying attention....

I would think that having such a disease in and of itself would lead some people towards gambling. The less productive life span ahead of you, the greater incentive to take short-term risk.

when he suddenly developed I don't know. Medicines can do strange things to people. A lot of old people are labeled as demented and then it turns out their medicines were putting them out of their minds. Never heard of a behavior thing though. But if there is a pattern of unrelated people suddenly having this behavior (with no past of it) then it might be interesting to watch.

Maybe the casinos will start offering more comps to people who take the drug.

Great. Next they're going to have drugs that make you want to vote Democrat. {{shudder}}Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, meth, ecstacy, . . . I bet if you polled drug users, you would find overwhelming support of Dems--that is, when they can get it together to vote. 'I got stoned and I missed it.'
So the next big pharmaceutical step will be an addictive drug that makes stoners vote.
To: Kokojmudd
Geeze, how long have I been taking this drug and why didn't anyone tell me???

LOL! I'm on some anti-biotic at the moment...one of the "side effects" is "change in mood or moodiness". My hubby can't decide if it's me or the medicine!

He should have known not to buy a drug distributed by "MGM Grand Pharmaceuticals, Inc.", imho.

Actually there seems to be a link between Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and addictions. All 3 seem to effect the same parts of the brain and there was some speculation once they figure one of those out the other 2 should "fall into place"
Granted that's info from college and I didn't have a clear grasp on it then and certainly don't have a good grasp on it 3 years later ;)

Hey! I'm from Vegas Baby! I'm a gambling kind of guy!
All I know is when I gamble, and I've got a couple hundred bucks on the Don't Pass, I seem to GET Parkinson's and start trembling all over!

I spent most of my money on alcohol, gambling and women.
The rest I just wasted.
