To JUlie King-- welcome to the PD list. You can get much helpful info from
the several national PD organizations. Since you did not indicate where you
live,or where your parents live, I can't suggest local resources, but you can
call the 800 numbers and ask that you (and they) be put on mailing lists,
receive free pamphlets, etc. Here are a couple of them--
National Parkinson Foundation (Miami,FL)
1-800-327-4545
American Parkinson Disease Assn. (APDA)(NewYork)
1-800-223-APDA
Both have numerous helpful pubs for patients and families, as well as
newsletters that give much good information. This will give you a start
on filling in some of the gaps, and learning about this "designer disease"
as Jeff Jones calls it....definitelt not a case of "ignorance is bliss"!
