ESPECIALLY FOR NEW MEMBERS OF THE PIEN LIST, here's information about CARE ! CARE (Caregivers Are Really Essential) is a sublist of the main PD list. It is especially for caregivers (CGs) of Parkinsonians (PWPs). The need for such a list was evident from feelings expressed on the PD list that there are times when CGs need to be able to "let off steam" in a place where they will not upset their PWPs. Some of us have CareGiver support groups, where we can safely express feelings, get practical support, and share experiences but some do not. The CARE list , as a "virtual support group", serves this need, but DOES NOT shut off the participation of CGs on the main list. CGs who want to join CARE, where there is much less traffic than on the main list, may do so as follows: Send in body of post (not on subject line) to: [log in to unmask] this command: subscribe CARE your full name no signature, please. You will be added to the list, and will receive further instructions. If you have problems, for CARE ask Camilla Flintermann <[log in to unmask]> or Jeff Jones (co-owner) <[log in to unmask]> ******************** Camilla Flintermann, former CG for Peter 83/70/55 Oxford, Ohio <[log in to unmask]> on PDWebring at http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/genugten/flinterm.htm "Ask me about the CARE list for Caregivers of Parkinsonians !
