ESPECIALLY FOR NEWCOMERS TO THE PD LIST: There is a sublist of this one which was created especially for the caregivers (CGs)of people with Parkinsons (PWPs). It provides a place where CGs may seek support of all kinds, vent feelings, and exchange ideas without fear of hurting anyone's feelings. It is, so to speak, a "virtual" support group, as many CGs do not have a local group , or are "long distance CGs'". The CARE list (Caregivers Are Really Essential) is much smaller than the main PD list, so there is less traffic daily and fewer messages to read. Any CG who wishes to join should send to: [log in to unmask] this command in body of post:-no signature, please: SUBscribe CARE your full name The request will be forwarded to the co-owners of the list, who will add you, and send you further instructions.
