Thanks for any info. > > Debby 43/10 Debbie..NOONE is worthless! We all have a purpose. Even my no good ex son -in-law!!! If our daught er hadn't had her three children by him..they would not have ever come into this world. The good Lord must have a reason for every creation. If I had not been diagnosed with PD, I would still be doing my genealogy..all the time. Now I have gotten a support group started and have more friends than I have ever had. It has brought me out of the "Hibernating Housewife Syndrome"! I realize that I do not have PD to the any extreme extent, yet; and thus..count my blessings. You might want to check out if there is a support group near you. Ask your doctor or a local hospital, or newspaper. If they do not know..make them aware of the need of people to be informed about Parkinsons. You might find that other's will reach out to help if you let them know of your need. Carol
