I sure hope so. I've been reading for a couple of weeks and I think I found the right spot. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with PD a month ago. She is retired, early 60's, and very loving. When someone is diagnosed with PD, what medication/exercise/diet/treatment regimine is typically prescribed? I'm afraid that she's not doing ANYTHING and has simply "accepted" PD as her cross to bear in life. I want to support her and would appreciate your ideas. Also, PD seems to run in my wife's family (I've read that it's hereditary and that symptoms appear at progressively younger ages each generation.) Any tips for me to reassure/support my wife? Thanks for your ideas and thanks for letting me listen in. Terry
