This is a great approach to finding a cause. Someone has to do it, right?? I am surprised this approach hasn't been addressed in all the studies. An up-to-date survey would seem to be beneficial and enlightening. I will fill it out for my husband shortly. Do you have any information on the longevity of PD patients? My husband is, as far as I can determine reading the different articles, in the advanced stages and on minimum medication to help with the confusion. His symptoms started when he was about 62 and he was diagnoised when he was 67, he is now 69. It would help in planning for his care and what I will need to do in the near and not so near future. Maybe, people on this list have some feel for what my future as a caregiver might be like. I am 61 and still working full time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Edith Love <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2001 12:52 AM Subject: Re: Email 2 SECT.
