A FAQ on this list is the one above, often from newly diagnosed patients or caregivers. I'm in the habit of collecting notes on various subjects for my own use, and I have some on that one, a summary of all the diseases whose early symptoms mimic or are confused with PD. Too long to post here, but I'll mail a copy to those who want one. Cheers, Joe J. R. Bruman (818) 789-3694 3527 Cody Road Sherman Oaks CA 91403
