I hope I do things correctly. I am 46 years old, live southwest of Houston, Texas, and was diagnosed with pd in February. So I am kind of new to this journey. I found out about the list serve from reading When Parkinson's Strikes Early. It is an excellent book, especially to a newcomer with lots of questions. PD is the second major chronic illness that I have. I have been suffering from chronic bronchitis for 4.5 years, severe enough that I had to go on disability retirement a year ago. I feel like I am a weird kind of Nyquil commercial, except I am the "shuffling, shaking, coughing, wheezing, can't move my body" kind of woman. I would like to "meet" other people who are travelling down the PD road. Have a great day! -- Katie [log in to unmask] > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
