Barbara, Thank you for the Welcome message. By way of introduction, my name is Will A. Kuipers. I am 75 and retired from an engineering career in 1985. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 5 years ago. I live in Dallas, Texas, where we have a very active support organization: The Dallas Area Parkinsonism Society ( DAPS ). My other source of information is the quarterly Newsletter of the United Parkinson Fund of Chicago. One of DAPS' members pointed me in the direction of your LISTSERV. I was hoping to find sources of information on Parkinson's since I started dabbling with this computer. I can't thank him enough. This is just what I was hoping for. I see my Neuro twice a year. He has me on two Eldepryl and two and a half Sinemet CR a day. My symptoms are light and have not changed much for the worse, if at all. I am blessed that I can still do just about everything I did before. But it pays to be aware that things can change and one needs to be prepared for that. Will A.
