Mya- I am attempting to learn as much as I can about the disease also. My dad was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I think I feel more for him because of what he can't do anymore or how slow he does what he does. I am also looking for information on how the disease effects different people. I have found a lot of disturbing information about it that I was not aware of in the beginning. Maybe we can keep in touch. I am on the same path as you are. Gail 10/12/96
