I would like to add mu own address although it is basically using his email acceses. I am inexperienced at using email, so I think I have joined it but will wait and see. I am the Pa~kinsonian--diagnosed 19 years ago at the age of 30. I am presently the president of the Bay Area Chatper of the American Parkinson Disease Association, which keeps me busy since I also put out the chapter's newsletter. I am also a member of the Young Parksinson's Support Network. Latest passion--bird watching (soemthing I started doing when I had a really low period serveral years ago and was pretty non-functional. All I needed was one feeder outside my window to get started. I was a family law attorney before the big slowdown. Have received great benefit from use of liquid Sinemet and, more recently, going back onto Symmetrel (something I had used years ago). Was highly dyskinetic with stubborn on-off periods, which have smoothed out a great deal over the past two years. Am looking forward to getting acquainted by email. Yours, Margy Hansell [log in to unmask]
