Hi ! I'm a 48 year old male with PD for over 8 years.....We have started a PD support group in Albuquerque NM and myself & one other member want to be the Internet contacts for the group to share any & all info on PD, diet, Pallidotomy, etc. I've got a special interest in working with anyone out there in PDland who would like to develop a broad based questionnaire to try to come up with some possible causes for PD.....I suspect that there is more than one cause but, so far, they have eluded the experts...If we ask enough questions about our lives, where we've lived, type of work, diet habits, etc we may just find a significant correlation that may lead us to a possible cause.....worth a try! I've got a zillion questions, but I'll same 'em for later Grins, Lee (by the way, for the past year I've gradually gotten more & more tired and I just attributed it to PD.....to cut a long story short (too late, right!), I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia which is a B12 deficiency. It's easily controlled with monthly B12 shots.......just a suggestion to not assume your weakness and tiredness is due to PD....the test for pernicious anemia is simple and might save you a lot of grief later!)
