Hi Ross, I know how you feel my husband was diagnosed 10 years ago at 46. I could not get enough information on Parkinson and still can't! There are many books that have been published regarding PD in the last 9-10 years. One that I think everyone should read is called"When Parkinson's Strikes Early" by Barbara Blake-Krebs and Linda Herman,who happen to meet here on the listserv! This book discusses the impact of PD on work, romance,spouses and children.as well as loads of other information. You can get it from any well know bookstores.Learning about PD is a ongoing thing. So much has happened in the last 9-10 years it's incredible. There are many organizations out there that also have a lot of information. My favorite is Parkinson's Action Network (www.parkinsonsaction.org) for ADVOCACY , which has been instrumental in the progress Parkinson's has made politically. There are also many other group full of information. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for research(WWW.Michaelifox.org) The National Parkinson Foundation(WWW.parkinson.org), research/support groups/information. ' The American Parkinson Disease Ass.(800) 223-2732. The Parkinson Alliance www.parkinsonalliance.net/home.html. The Parkinson Unity walk, www.unitywalk.org, Awareness/fundraising. The Parkinson's Institute, www.parkinsonsinstitue.org medical questions/referrals. Parkinson's Disease Foundation [log in to unmask], research. These are just a few of the organizations. Let us know if there is any other way we can be of help.
