Hi Jane... Ohhh my... you must be on pins and needles worrying 'bout your dad's diagnosis now! You might mention mercury poisoning to the MD along with the hypothyroidism. That's also got PD-like symptoms, I believe. Please let us know what the doctor comes up with, 'kay. We CARE!

I truly appreciate your efforts to get there in the midst of another El Nino event. It is SO timely for my particular needs. Tomorrow I take my Dad back to the neuro at Emory. Dr. Wichmann says Dad does not have any type of Parkinson's and the MRI did not show anything that would warrant neurosurgery. I've been silently agonizing that it might be ALS, although still hoping for some medically treatable cause. Your note about hypothyroidism gives me new cause to hope. Thanks!
