Hi! I would like to introduce myself to the group. My name is Rachael, I live in Boston, MA, and I work at The Monster Board (an on-line career hub, so I use the Internet all day everyday!) Less than one year ago my Mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. After close to two years of being misdiagnosed, they thought she had had a stroke etc., this was bitter sweet news. I am very close with my parents and was obviously saddened by this news, however she now had a diagnosis and could take appropriate action. I am confident in my Mother's Doctors, she is currently being seen at Yale/New Haven Hospital, however I feel that I need to be as aware and as knowledgable about Parkinson's as I can be. Also my mother is not on-line and so I would like to do this for her as well. I am concerned that my mother is not involved in any support groups, nor is my father who is now retired and working as a consultant from home - so he is very much so my Mother's main caregiver. I would like to learn more about life with Parkinson's, what we have to look forward to as a family, tips for my mother. These are some of the things I hope to get from this newsgroup. Thank You. ***************************************************************** Rachael Albert Account Coordinator The Monster Board [log in to unmask] 1-800-MONSTER http://www.monster.com *****************************************************************
