Hilary wnd others with a PD/med related question--- remember that these
websites are available:
1. This website is maintained by the U. of Cincinnati, Case Western Reserve
U., and Ohio State U. Among other things, you can ask questions of
doctors in many specialties. Ask Dr. Arif Dalvi (Peter's neuro) about PD.
Click on the Ask an Expert section, then click on Parkinsons in the list
of diseases. You'll get a
>brief answer in a couple of days.

2. This page of the NPF website is a good place to get information, similar
to the Ask An Expert page on the NetWellness site... Please make use of it
when you are curious, need info to prepare for a neuro appointment, etc. It
is simple to "join", and you can also read messages without joining. When
you search for a word, you will get a list of mssages, and if you highlight
one and click on "view message" it will appear.
