I chose this because my 34 year old son was just recently diagnosed with PD. I am still in shock and thought it might be helpful to hear from and about others. I am a nurse but still feel very helpless. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi New Member Judie, Stan, Welcome to the "Club"... You needn't feel helpless anymore, we are a large diverse group and there are many whose footsteps trod these paths before you... You will find answers, friendship, and compassion here... Isn't it strange how we can go through life unaware of certain things like Parkinson's or like these ListServes until our interest is forceably changed and suddenly our new interest is right under our noses every day... When I was diagnosed years ago I knew absolutely zero about Parkinson's, knew zip about ListServes, and now I am my own expert, post daily on more than one forum, and have a Parkinson's website. See Parkinson's Resources on the WWWeb... http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters If you click on Contents you will find lots of PD information... If you click on VIP links you can monitor several of the Parkinson forums (without joining) or read the latest Parkinson news and it's all free, I won't try to sell you anything.... You can search the great archived resources... You can click on Ref Links and check the weather, or the currency exchange, or the latest horoscope, or some other non Parkinson's reference that I placed there for my own conveniece and share freely with you... Isn't the Internet a wonderful invention? cheers ...... murray * * * Murray Charters <[log in to unmask]> Parkinson's Unity Walk - Team "Fidgety Feet" http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/051.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
