Dear Barb, Thank you very much for your warm and humorous letter. Your "giggle" made ME giggle! You had alot of very nice things to say about the Parkinson List Service and I am excited to find them all out myself. I am just learning about computers and Internet but Parkinson's has been an integral part of my world for over 20 years. I was diagnosed at age 33 but had the beginning symptoms for a couple of years before that. It's hard to believe, but at that time I didn't have a clue what Parkinson's Disease was and certainly never knew anyone who had it. Of course, now I know I have many comrads out there who share many of the same up's and down's that I have. What a wonderful service the Internet provides us that enables us to communicate our thoughts to one another! In just two days,I have already made five new friends, including you, Barb. Since we share similar"histories", I was very glad to hear you are doing so well. Although I am still doing quite well with my medications, it is reassuring to hear about the Pallidal surgeries. I look forward to finding out more about them. I also have alot of topics I hope to bring before the forum but will save them for a later time when I'm a little bit more sure of what I'm doing. Signing off from Kalamazoo, Michigan. (Yes, there really IS a Kalamazoo!) Sincerely, Janice Long
