I've been interested in the responses, partly because our experience was different...Peter, who has considerable medical background/knowledge actually diagnosed himself, and asked his internist to confirm it, which he did. So I guess the initial shock came earlier, in a different setting and to someone who already had some idea what PD was. (That wasn't the case with me, I hasten to add!) One of the men in our support group put together an info packet which we offer to local docs, to be given to new folks they see, but I'm not sure how much it is used. It's simple, but includes an invitation to the group along with basic info. Not exactly a "brochure", but I could lay hands on one if folks are really interested, and describe the contents.
