Good morning, Susie. Welcome to the LIST. I'm sure you will grow to appreciate it even more as time goes by. You will find sympathy, support, information (some valuable, some not), controversy and factual information, misplaced political zeal and right-on understanding of what it takes to deal with this disease we fight. In short the LIST contains all the variety of life itself. I don't have answers to your questions but I'm certain there have been several postings for you already from listmembers who want to help All the best, Bart. > [Original Message] > From: s & g proctor <[log in to unmask]> > To: <[log in to unmask]> > Date: 11/8/2004 2:10:19 AM > Subject: New Member > > Hi! So glad to find this site! My sister has just been diagnosed with PD - age 50 - - and I am trying to learn all I can. > Her Dr. started her on Mirapex; is that a typical first drug? Also, any advice on finding a good Movement Disorder specialist or neurologist in Central Indiana would be greatly appreciated.
