Dear friends, I'm the daughter of a parkinsonian. My father is 60 and discovered his PD eight years ago. My father hate computers (he hate everything is electronic, too :-)), so I will write in this mailing list for him too. My father, Alfredo Muccinelli, is a doctor, a dermatologist. Now is retired. His PD is not very serious because in about 8 years of terapy he is still at a very very low posology of L-DOPA. But my father is completely humbled: he has no reaction, no interests, not at all. He live only for PD, reading and studying any kind of publication about PD; he has no trust in any neurologist (he has changed 6 doctors in 8 years!), he wants (also if he don't admit it) take care of himself. This would be positive, but... he is not a neurologist, and he stay *always* bad: he is afraid of side effects, and so if the doctor say him "take 2 pills", he takes only an half pill, and if he don't feel well says: "oh, this therapy is too hard" and takes a quarter. I'm the only daugher, we have no relatives that can help us; my parents has no friends, nothing to do outside their home. My father refuses to go outside (also only for a day) because he is afraid of having problems and don't want being seen by other people. I spent many years trying to help my father, but now, sincerely, I don't know what else I can do. I'm very happy of founding this mailing list, so I can talk with other person who have same problems of mine and my family. I'm sure it would be great! :-) I apologize for my bad english; I hope that what I wrote is clear bye Alessandra Muccinelli [log in to unmask]
