Hi Diane I am the chairman of YAPP&Rs (the Young Alert Parkinson Partners and Relatives, the young onset group of the PDS of the UK) and I have had PD for 9 years and am 46 years old. If you email me your telephone number I will give you a ring and chat with you about your Mum. There are lots of us in the UK who can give you and your mum advice on how to live with PD. Do get in contact with me direct. Kind regards to you all Emma At 18:03 23/06/97 -0400, you wrote: >Dear All > >My Mum has PD. I am new to the list. I live in England.
