The symptoms of Parkinson's vary widely from patient to patient. We are all individuals with our own problems. We also are a group with a unifying problem. We share our problems. We try to notice what is helpful to us in solving our problems. We share our solutions. We talk about almost anything. We are patients, friends, caregivers, family, and care providers. We are from all over, but in "Americanese," we are all coming from the same place.
