Thanks so much for the info. I will check around for the book, as know where to look for out of print. Also, I am used to reading medical books, but thanks for the info that it is geared more to the non medical reader. I did not realize how quickly and how many (30-50% from what I am reading) PD patients get this way. Has been very hard for our family, as my Mom was a very bright person, and now has difficulty even counting money and her pills; but she does have good days, and sometimes can still do crosswords, but she knows the word but forgets how to spell, as example; also can no longer do jigsaw puzzles. Sometimes ok with conversations, and other times forgets in midddle of talking what she is talking about. Long term memory very good still.
