Hi, Just a few words to present myself as a new member of your list... but already a member of the french list Parkliste... so, I know one person: Maryse ! Already familiar with PD... but still interested to know more about the last developments in the fiield of that disease. Also, need for Hope and to feel "not to be alone in the world with PD"...It looks like your list is "lively"! A few words about me (for not being a "ghost"): I was diagnosed as having Parkinson's Disease in September 1999... at 38 years old. I am from Montreal, Quebec and French is my native language....so, sorry for all mistakes I could do in English. After some years with PD and adaptation to medication... adaptation of a new life (stop working, divorce, my "loved daugther transforming in a teenager")...Anyway, like many of you... life is life with or without PD. Back in the "PD World" this year and implicated with the Quebec Parkinson Society, I am trying to do something... to help us, as I could, to finally having a cure. And during the time we have to "be patient", doing something to improve my quality of life, and the one of people around me. Staying in a corner and do nothing... this is not really me. Thanks to the listmanagers and members for accepting me in your list. Best regards, Elisabeth Chevassus (El Che "in short") _________________________________________________________________ Profitez des puissants filtres de courriels indésirables articulés sur la technologie brevetée MicrosoftMD SmartScreen. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=fr-ca&page=features/junkmail Commencez dès maintenant à profiter de tous les avantages de MSN Premium et obtenez les deux premiers mois GRATUITS*. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
