One of my cousins in Norway was diagnosed PD ten years ago. b) I became computer active about four years ago. c) I wanted information for him and myself - to understand PD. My cousin had once shown me people examples in Norway with PD at different stages - stages he would eventually see. d) I signed off after a short time on the list because my cousin and his wife were more up to date with information than the people on the list. > > > >People stay on lists for different reasons. > >4. Why do you stay on the Parkinsn List? a) I've rejoined the PDL because my cousin and his wife were unaware of a documentary I'd recently seen on American TV concerning a French operation for PD with a high rate of sucess. b) My cousin, as I learned when I recently visited Norway, had just been to a Parkinson's informational meeting -Oslo? - and nothing new was mentioned!? c) Another cousin working within Norway's health care system knew nothing about any research on PD. d) I stay on this list for information. > >5.

A surprising sense the people on this list are international, yet we share the same human emotions of caring, empathy, a cheering on - to go forward!, sharing, and yes, love. That PDL recognizes no country 'borders', recognizes no political agenda other than the world scope of PDL information. Thank you for this list.
