Barbara, Thanks for the welcome. My name is Tim Pearson, and I subscribed to this list because my father was recently diagnosed with PD. My dad, a man who dedicated a significant portion of his life to vigorous exercise and prided himself on his physical conditioning, has been devastated by the diminished strength and mobility associated with this disease. I am trying to learn as much as I can about PD and to understand what is to come. To date, my father has experienced significant weight loss, problems with balance when walking, fatigue, diminished volume when speaking and, most recently, incontinence. This latter assault on his dignity has been the most difficult to handle. He has cancelled all plans to travel even short distances from home. I sincerely hope you will pardon my profound ignorance on this matter, but I do need help in identifying the best products available to deal with this particular problem. Your comments and recommendations would be much appreciated. Tim Pearson ([log in to unmask])
