Just this past week I came across an excellent document on the World Wide Web: Young Parkinson's Handbook Edited by Arlette Johnson Copyright The American Parkinson Disease Association, 1995 Table of Contents 1. What Is Parkinson's Disease? 2. Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease 3. The Medical Management of PD 4. Neuro-Surgical Management of PD 5. Exercise 6. Nutrition 7. Communication and Swallowing 8. Psychological Issues 9. Relating to Others 10. Sexuality and Gender Issues in PD 11. Carepartners 12. The Workplace 13. Financial Planning 14. Personal Insurance Options Appemdicies A. Parkinson's Disease Glossary B. Approved PD Medications C. Stages of Parkinson's Disease D. Trademarks The handbook can be found at: http://neuro-chief-e.mgh.harvard.edu/parkinsonsweb/Main/PDmain.html As you can see from the TOC, the handbook covers several topics that have been discussed on this list. I am posting under separate cover a couple of extracts from the handbook that concern the different types of PD (one of the recent topics). Another recent topic was sexuality, but that chapter was to long to post. Bruce ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bruce G.
