1. how hear about List: my brother found some men on a chat line (not sure where, exactly), forwarded some of their letters, via e-mail, to me; I wrote 4 of them requesting help with a PD issue and one responded very helpfully. After a couple more letters back and forth, he told me about this list and how to get on it. I had first heard about the list on the Internet, but was too computer-lingo-ignorant to figure out the instructions. This very kind man told me exactly what to do. 2. I joined the list in early or mid-April 1997. 3. I joined the list in order to seek help with a Sinemet-related problem my husabnd (PWP) had been having, since our neuro was no help.
