To Sally Nordquist--welcomew to you and your mother. You'll find a lot of info in the list archives (check for "how to" in the posts you got when you joined) There are many good books, and you can call the Nat'l Park inson Fndtn. in Miami ( 1-800-327-4545 ) to get on their mailing list.Best of all, try to find a support group where you live, to share experiences and feelings with others in the same boat. Hope your mother will see a neurologist who knows more about PD than her primary dr. does. Stay tuned-- Camilla Flintermann, Oxford,OH
