Hi everybody! I joined the list because of my father (57), who was diagnosed two years ago. He's in troubles with his voice and postural equilibrium. I have been reading all the notes, and he is always asking me about the news. I wish to thank Barbara for keeping this list with so much dedication and kindness. We have here in Brazil a PD association, which promotes monthly meetings where experiences and news are exchanged. I will be presenting the existence of this list in the next meeting (Nov 8th), so that it's likely next month the list will have new members from this country. A fellow from our assosciation is asking about the term "Parkinson Plus". Is it related to a specific class of symtoms or it has to do with the degree of the disease? Thanks, Marcelo C.
