After returning to Israel in '96 new treatment was given to me by Hadassa Hospital in Jerusalem. I am quite stable now. In Jerusalem I joined a voluntary PD suport group and am very active since the head of the group is too sick to function fully. We are meeting once a month for lectures, exchange of information, creating now a library and are establishing contacts with other organisations in Israel and abroad. I do trust that my new contact with the Digest will help us to cope with our PD related problems... Raphael
