Janice, I do not have PD. My mother has PD and so did her father. I thought I had read that there could be a genetic tendency for Parkinson's disease, and that there was a study being conducted. BTW-I am new to the list. Thanks for the replies to my previous note. I wish my mother could have been involved in something like this when she was able. She would have loved it.
