While exploring the internet I came accross the following which
may be helpful to some subscribers.
Also does the fact that I have not heard from anyone on the list regarding a
Parkinsonian condition by the name of Cortico-Basal ganglionic
Degeneration, mean that it is so rare that folks on this list have
not heard of it, or can not tell me where or how to obtain more
information? My mother was given this diagnosis about two years
ago and she has yet to find someone else with the same diagnosis.
I hope this info from the National Library of Medicine is helpful.
