I am mostly a listner on the Caregiver for PD list. My Husband Iven was diaagnose with PD in 2003. We live in Portland OR and have Kaiser, our neuro is Dr. Gancher. Iven just retired and I will hopefully late next year. Iven is doing okay right now and wwe plan to RV for a while so are thinking of changing Health Benefits .. to probably Blue Cross....so by any chance do you know how we would find a "good" pd neuro in the Portland area... We have Oregon Health Science University Hospital and I know they do some research and there a doctors listed ... but how to find a good one baffels me. All the issue I read especially doctoring one is really overwhelming yet so important for the future. Any insite you could provide would be really great.

I also belong to an informal group which meets once a month where we get together and just talk about how we are doing. Possibly we could get together and and talk in person or by phone.

I am 57 and have been dealing with Parkinsons like symptons for the last couple of years. I was finally diagnosed just a few months ago. I am presently on medication and seem to be doing much better. I am very interested in getting all the information I can about PD. My daughter is a RN and has been a great help. I have also joined a support group, but missed the first meeting. I am looking forward to the next meeting which I will be attending. I think any time you can meet new people in your area it is a good thing!!!! > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] >In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn --------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn Yahoo!
