Sara, welcome. You'll find plenty of stories, sagas, here. Check out the archives of this listserv and I think there will be plenty of research for you to do. There are some very heroic stories and a wealth of info.

I joined this listserv to learn and understand more about having Parkinson's Disease or being a caregiver for someone who has it. My grandmother passed away from it when I was only 6 months old, so I never really was able to get to know her and spend time with her. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, just hearing your stories would bring some insight as well. Thanks a bunch, Sara Debes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
