I have been a lurker on this board for about a month, just after learning that my 45 y.o. son-in-law had recently been diagnosed PD. In that time I have found much information, consolation, despair, joy and practically everything I wanted to know about PD. I have subscribed to all the nat'l orgs. publications which are wonderful. Please, don't reply privately to any questions. There are many of us out here who are hungry for knowledge. Also I am sure that those dxed with pd recently will find it less threatening when they can take an active part in this list and begin to really discuss their illness with the family. Keep up the good work all of you. I don't know what I can do to help anyone, but if you know of anything that might help, I'm just waiting. maggie salls [log in to unmask]
