Hello, I am a newbie to this list, so please excuse me if I am asking about something which has been recently covered. My mother has PD and I am curious about PD dementia. She is 73 years old, and very very forgetful, forgets words, people's names, etc. The doctor says it is not Alzheimers, and that it is due to her meds. She takes three cinemet (sp?) per day. She is also sometimes very petulant, and has an exceedingly short attention span, all of which drive my poor father slightly bats. I have been in a position to go and stay with her when he goes away, but this is changing and I will no longer be able to do this. Does anyone know if there are PD support groups in the Westfield/Springfield Mass. area? She also has macula degeneration and is losing her sight which doesn't help. Please respond to me off list if this is repeat information which would bore everyone! TIF S.J. Wolfe ************************************************ * ______ * * / \ * * | --88-- | S.J.
