Marge, If you haven't already found these, here are two sites that may be of help to you. Centers of Excellence http://www.pdf.org/aboutdisease/research/centers.html Massachusetts General Hosptial Forum http://neuro-mancer.mgh.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi Carolyn/Central Florida ----- Original Message ----- From: "john p p pettibone" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 7:54 AM Subject: introducing myself > I live in St. Louis, Mo, married, 4 grown children with 8 young > grandchildren. I was 53 in November and diagnosed with PD this past > December. I suppose it started about 2 years ago, when my right arm > stopped swinging. Then about 6 months ago, I started to develop a tremor > in my right hand. The neurologist started me on Sinement, to see if it > helped, and it did, so he is as positive as he can be, that it is PD. At > the time I am not taking any medications and I am going to attempt to > locate a movement disorder specialist. I am considering if I should take > Mirapex, because I have read there is a possibility of slowing the > progression. I have a brother 20 years older than myself who has been > diagnosed for 14 years. > I found your website from the book "When Parkinson's Strikes Early" by > Barbara Blake-krebs, M.A. and Linda Herman M.L.S. Your website looks > like it will be very helpful and I think I will enjoy it. > Marge Pettibone > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
