bruce asked me to put this on the pd list for him. he would appreciate any help you can give him. nancy nothnagel Some of you may remember Bruce Anderson, who was active on the List up to the middle of last year. For five years Bruce thought he had PD, then one of the PD+ diseases. He was just recently diagnosed by Dr Stanley Fahn at Columbia Presbyterian in NYC with something so rare that they have seen it only twice before there. It's called Generalized Freezing Syndrome. Bruce can't walk & speak, and he has problems keeping his eyes open, his mouth closed, with swallowing and chocking and with drooling. He can't work anymore. There is no treatment. Bruce wants to write to hospitals or medical schools that have Movement Disorders departments to see if any of them have had any experience with this disease, and Dr. Fahn has encouraged him to do this. Please send any names of such hospitals to Bruce at [log in to unmask] A doctor's name and the address would be helpful but aren't necessary. Thank you"
