There are many places pwp can go for technical articles/information about the disease Parkinson. In my opinion it is only by joining PIEN, this list group, that I felt immediately a feeling of "family" and have found when I dared to ask even "embarassing" questions, the "family" was there with practical, applicable advice. Most posters were quick to say "in my experience" or "I'm not a doc but this is what I found out". These replies gave me the info I needed to keep going when the going was rough and not even my close friends and family had answers. The sibling fusses and different opinions remind me of my own family and make me no less likely to tune in to the information I'd like and to delete what doesn't interest me. The subject line and the name of the poster usually clues me to scan or even delete any posts if I'm pressed for time. I love the info., the support and even the differences found in the PIEN family.
