Hi and thank you to all who responded directly to me when I joined the list. I am amazed at the amount of activity here. I'm printing many of the postings to send to my mom. I'm glad to see comments on learning to take charge of ones's own care and not relying on the doctors. My mother was told not to eat hardly any protein & as a result had severe muscle wasting within 6 months in her upper body. She walks all the time so her legs weren't too bad. I got her to go to a gym and she now does upper body workouts every day and they seem to be helping. The dr. never mentioned to her what the lack of protein can do. Her drs.seem to know nothing about nutrition. I would like to know if there's anyone on the list in Lincoln, Nebraska, where my parents live & if there's a support group there. She doesn't seem tho think there is one. Also--one more thing--I tried to email to a couple of people withAOL addresses and my messages were returned each time as Host Unknown. Maybe I am blocked from my end for some reason. One of those was someone with info about PD Walkathons, one of which is to be in Lincoln next 15 Oct. I would like more info--maybe I can be there to participate. Thanks again. I hope this message gets through. I sent it yesterday & it was returned to me this a.m. from some computer in Texas!
