Johnson responded: > The numbers behind my name mean the following: > (current age)/(age at PD diagnosis)/(estimated age of onset) I'd always used the "age now/years since onset" format myself and hadn't really noticed that there was another format. I had to research it, of course, and in the last couple of digests, I found: 47/10/8 (explained by the poster as: age now/age dx/age first symptoms) 51/41/37 54/9 57/12 67/9 77/3 44/16 74/50/45 11/9/98 (I think that was just the message date, though :) ) Guess from now on I'll need to clarify my format to avoid ambiguity. :) - Doug cg for Mom age 64/ age at dx 42
