Dear Audrey, Your friend is most fortunate to have a caring person willing to seek help for you. Does he by chance go to the Parkinson Clinic in Melbourne -- Kingston Centre -- under the direction of Dr. Iansek? I have twice heard Dr. Iansek speak, and have been very impressed with his knowledge, understanding, and compassion. I have also been fortunate enough to visit Kingston Centre, it is a leading centre for PD in Australia, and again I was most impressed. If he is not attending Kingston Centre, perhaps you might suggest this to him, as it is certainly a valuable resource.
