HI, Penny, and welcome. If my dad had had his way I would have been Penny Brown instead of named for him, Rayilyn Brown. or Ray Murray Charters and LInda Herman provide all the info, many of the rest of us just argue the issues. I'm sorry to hear you are a PWP and so young, too. I was 60 when dxed, now 68. Meds don't help me. DBS helped tremors. My maternal grandfather died at 76 of complications of PD and a paternal great-aunt had PD. Good luck, Ray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
