Hi Chuck, I'm also new to this service as of two weeks ago. Diagnosed a year ago this January. I'm sorry you need this group for Parkinson's patients, but I think you will be happy you found it. When I put my bio on, the response was very overwhelming. I read ahead a few messages and found that you are in Woodbridge, VA - I am in Yorktown. You win - I bet the doctors are better up there! Are you military? My husband is retired F-16 pilot. just curious. Well, welcome to our world.
