When your doctor diagnosed you as having PD+, did he suggest which of the PD+ disorders you might have? There are several different ones known and most have organizations dedicated to helping patients and their families (just as there are PD organizations dedicated to PD patients and their families). These groups can be of great help - even if just to share experiences and such. While I work for the PDF, my grandfather had Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (one of the PD+ syndromes) and I received lots of help from the Society for PSP.
