Hello everyone. I'm new to the list and should introduce myself. My name is Julie West and my interest in Parkinsons Disease comes from my mothers recent (last Friday) diagnosis. As is seems with some it was many months before the doctors could figure out just what was wrong. And this was after several tests for Parkinsons came back negative. Anyway, my mother is also diabetic so I am interested not only in Parkinsons but also in any information about interaction of the two. I must also say that I subscribed late yesterday and when I came into work this morning there were more messages from this list than the four or five others I belong to. Great info exchange!!!!
