"Tod" Morman (age 72, dx 1986, onset about 1984) Donald--here's a start from my resource file--the NPF center in Rngland would know how to reach the UK resources,I'm sure. As we often get inquiries about PD resources in other countries than the USA, I was interested to note that the National PD Assn. supports affiliated Centers of Excellence in 9 other countries: China, Argentina, The Netherlands, Japan (2), ENGLAND, France, Israel (2), Canada (2), and Spain. ALSO UK In the United Kingdom-- Contact Eileen Atkinson, <[log in to unmask]> about the Parkinson's Disease Society which is supportive in many ways, and also YAPP&RS. It stands for "Young Alert Parkinson People & Relatives". It was started originally for the young-onset Parkinsonians, It's very good for those who fall into this category. She will supply information and addresses.
