I'm new here and thought I might introduce myself. My mother was diagnosed with PD 4yrs. ago. I decided that now that I'm on the internet maybe there are things out here to learn about PD. Unfortunatley, my mom lives a couple of states from me and I'm not able to be with her all of the time. My father, however, has become quite helpful. My mother is 60yrs. old and along with the PD she has neropathy in her feet. I'm not sure what else I can share with you, but would be happy to fill in any gaps. I'm hoping to learn more from you all and hopefully share with you also. I'm afraid that my mom and dad will just go along with whatever the Doc says without learning more themselves. This has happened in the past. Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble. Debbie Baumgart [log in to unmask]
