The chat about memory loss is intriguing. I started to forget people's names two or three years ago, and put it down to early aging (I'm still only 50!) IN the last year, I put things away for safe keeping, then forget where. It sometimes takes a day or two of backtracking to remember the hiding place. Then the neuro said he thought (80% certain) that I had PD and I start to read about it, in books and these listserv emails. I've learnt a lot in these few months. So when I go the see the neuro on Friday for my second visit, I intend going armed with a list of symptoms and see how many could be PD related. I'll add it to the list of questions Kathrynne recommended. I hope they've set aside a long enough appointment ... les stevens (50/3mths) Tottenham, Ontario [log in to unmask]
