Dear Mary Ann Half of what I have learned about Parkinson's is from medical literature. The other half is from Parkinson's patients. This is why I really appreciate this kind of information network that you have. It is a pity that almost all Parkinson's patients in my country (even in the whole Asian region) do not have access to such information network. I will continue to read the articles / comments from your network - I believe the best approach to management of Parkinson's is a "two-way-learning" process (doctors and patients learn from each other).
