As far as lifespan... I am only 4-1/2 years younger than my father was when he died. That can be pretty sobering!

I think that PM will likely increase my lifespan (and I agree with much of the logic already presented here). My blood pressure is virtually normal now (was always borderline high before), and I have found that I tend to relax far more often and don't feel driven to put in 60-70 hour weeks at work any longer. I've rediscovered a very close relationship with my wife and my children, all of which I attribute to the calming effect PM has on me and the reset of my priorities (more in line with female tendencies).

Even if I don't live any longer, I can honestly say my quality of life is FAR superior to what it was before PM.

Misty,

I agree it can be sobering when you get close to the age when one or both of your parents died. I got nearly 40 years to go before this will become an issue for me. However, a female coworker of mine is getting close to the age when her mom died and this is something she has worried about, especially since she's a single mom with a teenage daughter.
