Hi! I have a friend with me who would like to tell you a little about himself and perhaps make contact with others with similar interests and concerns. We will be on line for the next hour so I hope someone out there will send us a reply within that time. Otherwise I will relay messages to Tony. My name is Tony Ander, I am 31 and live in Wanganui, New Zealand. When I was 15 I was diagnosed as having a form of Parkinsonism believed to be derived from contracting a viral infection encephalitis from measles when I was 5. I have gained many benefits from anti parkinson's treatment for 17 years, mainly sinemet. I am really interested in contacting anyone who may have experienced same.
