Welcome to Robert Miller and others who have recently posted as new list members. One suggestion I would make from our experience is to try to find a support group near you, wherever you live--or near the person whose PD is your concern. Although this list is a wonderful resource, I do feel that it is also very important to try to make face-to-face contact with others facing similar problems, be they parkies or caregivers.Peter and I have found this to be true, and until he "got PD" he was never a "group person". :-) Perhaps an inquiry to one of the national groups would turn up a group near you, or post a request on this list and give your city/town so folks can help connect you with a group they know of. I think such contacts are important, even for relatives who live far from the parkie so don't let distance put you off. You are still a very valuable part of the support system-- good luck!
