My husband has PD, we are from the eastern USA. He was born in 1936, was diagnosed in 1993, retired in 1995. We have 5 children and 4 grandchildren. The topics on the list are varied. Since we have become a global family we sometimes drift away from the topic a bit. We make jokes at each others expenses (but always in fun). We grow very fond and concerned about one another, so along with the very important topics (medication, treatment, surgery, symptoms, exercises, and other problems associated with PD)we write about personal experiences and fears. Fuad and I have found this list and the Parkinsons channel a very wonderful sorce of information and support. We look forward to it every day. Barb J (There are lots of Barbs here) aka MotherHen
