While I do not have PD, my boyfriend was recently diagnosised with PD Type A. I have been trying to find some information on Type A and so far have found nothing. I am not sure if there is another name besides Type A that we need to be looking for. He is 38. He had a stroke a few years ago and the doctor believes the PD is a result. He has a slight, occasional tremor in the right hand and occasionaly drops things. He also has some slured speech when he is tired. I would appreciate any information and advice you may have for us. Thank you, Suzi >>>> .......AND....... Tue, 21 Jul 1998 21:46:26 EDT Jacob Drollinger <[log in to unmask]> wrote: <<<< Suzi, I would think there is not to be concerned about. Your boyfriend does not have regular, idiopathic (degenerative) Parkinsonism. The damage caused by the stroke sounds minor, and his brain will likely compensate for the loss within another year or so. Jacob Drollinger >>>> Hello Suzi, Welcome to the list!! You've come to the right place for a lot of useful info about PD and helpful people. My reaction is mostly because of the posting by Jacob. That's a clear example of NOT useful information. I advice you to disregard his opinion, since it is big nonsence!!!! All of it!!! You'll get soon the requested info by people that DO know what they are talking about, you'll see!!! *************************************** Well Jacob, I do NOT understand how you can put such nonsence on the list! And telling it to a newbie that has no idea yet who or what to believe! "NOTHING to be concerned about".....with a stroke and PD-symptoms???? And you're messing up things: Parkinson and Parkinsonism!! Obviously no knowledge what so ever about strokes! "His mind will compensate for the loss within a year or so".....bullshit!! You are playing doctor here, giving ungrounded advice on way to few data. Hans.
