Hi. My name is Lisa Rosen. I'm seventeen years old. My father is 42 years old and has had Parkinson's Disease for 7 or 8 years. I find myself in a unique situation because while there are support groups for spouses and Parkinsonians there aren't any (that I know of) for teenaged/youngish children. I really need people to talk to who are experiencing the same types of problems as I am. I don't know anything really about this group so I guess I'm just going to read along for a while. BTW, my dad still works. The disease has been progressingfor the past half year to year quite rapidly. Things like slowed speech, lost concept of time, blackouts (occasional) and the usual stiffness and tremor. So that's me!:) Lisa Rosen ([log in to unmask])
