Marling, Your piece was well written and might be considered more on the persuasive paper side than strickly informative. I wonder if you have considered sending it to a national women's magazine like Good Housekeeping or Ladies Home Journal. I take both of these and both have sections about health issues and family life where this article could be used. Another national magazine might be Prevention a health oriented magazine and I'm sure there are others. Your article could even fit the category of GH's, In The News, since PD is definately there with the current legislation pending and the continuation of new discoveries in neurological research. Or how about a letter to GH's Dr. Joyce Brothers who has a monthly advice column? Your letter would need to be more in the form of asking Dr. Brothers about advice for coping with PD or what you, one person, can do about PD prevention/cure. There is a URL for GH:<http://goodhousekeeping.com> I've not visited the site, but you might check it out. Barb Rager....are you listening? Your pieces are also the kind that could be published. Why don't you and Marling do some brainstorming and start sending in articles/stories that might be published and get some visibility and support for PD and research for it's cause/cure? Are you hearing this janet paterson? What about you Barb of Kansas, you already write a column for a Parkinson's newsletter, why not try for national exposure? Hey, It's July....Women's History Month....let's go you phenomenal women!! If GH, LHJ, Prevention, etc. all get a flood of stories/articles from wwp(women with Parkinson's) how can they not decide to publish at least one of them?!? Maybe I could adapt my Auntie Dear webring page and send it, too. We are women, hear us roar!!(adapted from Helen Redding's "I Am Woman") Jeanette Fuhr 47/7mos. <[log in to unmask]> >
