Thank you for very informative guide lines for using list serv. I found site while looking at list of favorites today for new treatments and research through links..Also subscribed to NIH site. today, to get as much info as I can find. I was diagnosed in April 2002, but was thinking in August of 2001, that was cause of my balance problems, as well as feeling tired and not sleeping enough to feel rested. I started searching for info on computer and reading everything I could find, as had to wait five months to see specialist and department head in movement disorder clinic. I told him I had my first exposure to pesticides and insecticies trying to grow roses first time in summer 2001. He does not think that is related. I have participated in three balance research studies . Try to stay as active as possible. We got an average size little dog to help me stay active, and he llikes to go to walk at least twice a day., or more. I am on two medications, but think he will change me to another drug next month as I am not as well controlled now. Think this will be very informative and learning site, so glad I found it today. Thank you again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
