Hi! My name is Katherine Gale and I'm a new member too. I would like to thank Maryse for speaking up- I have been quietly reading away and was a little reluctant to speak out. You see, I too am a student studying PD (alas, only at the Master's level!). I also am from Canada (Manitoba) and am currently in the USA studying (Kansas State University).My major is Speech-Language Pathology so I am interested in hearing from any one who has noticed changes in the quality of their speech or ease of communication. I would be especially interested to hear if anyone has noticed changes in their speech as a result of pallidotomy, thalamotomy or pallidal stim. I thank you all for your wonderful letters, I have enjoyed reading them. As for the original purpose of this forum, I feel that the users should dictate! I am deeply grateful that such a wonderful support group is available, it is reassuring to know that no one has to feel alone. As for the quantity of mail received, I am grateful that there is so much!! The few minutes I spend reading has taught me more about PD than I could ever have learned from a textbook. It has also allowed me access to some phenomenal people! Thank you, Katherine ([log in to unmask])
