Dear Barbara,
I am not YET sufficiently computer literate to comment on Simon's
internatonal
networking ..however,
RE: Lewy bodies - I have heard Dr.Roger C. Duvoisin speak on the
subject.
How to contact him, I know not. I have read that he recently changed or
added to his affiliations. He is also involved with genetic research. I
think the
two subjects (LB & genetics) are interrelated.
I found a quote in one of his books regarding falling and. propulsion
in disturbances of balance which are the result of a
" ... diminished response to an impending fall." This seemd to apply
to my "falling" situation. I have impoved dramatically ... which I think is
the
result of a little game I play at the swimming pool. Between laps I "walk a
straight line"
forward and backward, using the lane-divider as a guide. It's not easy !
But I'm getting better at it and seem to be falling much less.. Mary Manfredi
