Hi, My name is Louis Zammit-Mangion, I live in Malta (for you new-worlders, that's a little island in the Mediterranean between Sicily and (gosh!) Libya) and while I don't have Parkinson's myself, my father-in-law is in a rather advanced stage of the disease. My main reason in joining the list is to listen-in on what goes on. With a population of only 340,000, my country doesn't have a large pool of sufferers that can lean on each other and share experiences, and we are short of news, tips, etc. louis ([log in to unmask])
