I am also very new to the world of the personal computer and am trying to learn through the help of my son via long distance phone calls. I'm sure I will make lots of mistakes but know the end result will be more than worth the effort I put into it. I am a 53 year old housewife who was diagnosed with Parkinson's 20 years ago at age 33. At that time, I had a nine year old son and a six year old daughter and this just didn't seem to be a bit fair to me! After 20 years of coping with this disease, I feel that I am probably one of the luckier ones to still be functioning as well as I am. I would like to correspond with someone who also was quite young when diagnosed and has been coping with the disease for many years. Sincerely, Janice Longn
