Greetings to you all: My best friend's dad has PD. One of his major symptoms is his voice. It is so soft & low as to make him unable to communicate. He is going to be treated with shots of cologion(sp) directly into his vocal chords. I was wondering if anyone had heard of this treatment & why it would work. Thanks in advance for your help. Also, my 10 year old daughter, Allison, would very much like to have an e-mail pal; someone out there who is about her age & is also a daughter of a PWP. Also, to Barb Rager: Congratulations, cheers & kudos on another powerhouse of a story. One more note to Jeannie Averill, please e-mail me again so that I can get your address right. They returned my "epic" response! Best, Joan
