Hi Don, and welcome to the List. its good to hear a new voice, a voice, in fact. we used to be a lot busier and many people I "knew" don’t post any more. I'm thinking its because we've all gotten worse and its harder to type. I'm 82, was diagnosed in 1996. 10, 15 years ago I was in good shape compared to now. Our posts are depressing because of so many years of this disease, but we forget that there are newbies all the time. Please ask questions and I think you will get a good response. We have a lot of "experts" on this List. By the way have you had or considered DBS brain surgery? In my opinion it’s the only thing that has made a real difference. Every PD patient is different so I hope you have a better experience than so many of us.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in the fall of 2013. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My principal problem currently is difficulty with walking. Most of your posts concern more advanced stages of Parkinson's than mine, but I have benefitted from your experience with the disease and I'm very glad to have found this listserv. My sister came across this BBC article and posted it to me yesterday. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-39641123 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
