Hello Diane, I think you and I, and many other PIEN members, fit the catagory of being a YOP[Young Onset Parkinsons]. In my case I firmly believe it was induced by an anti-depressent[AD] which I took between 8/88 to 1/91. I hope you don't mind me asking but have you ever taken AD's and if so for how long. If you wish you can email me off-line at [log in to unmask] . Regards, Marco PS. I welcome any input on the subject of AD's from YOP's [ 20-55now] or PWP's [55+ now, who were YOP's] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
