FOR NEWCOMERS TO THE PD LIST : DO YOU KNOW ABOUT "CARE" ?
CARE is a sublist of this one, which was created because it appeared that
the caregivers (CGs)of people with Parkinsons (PWPs) needed a place where
they could find support of all kinds, vent frustrations, 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.
It does NOT shut off participation on the main PD list, although a few CGs
find both lists are too much to follow, and decide to read only CARE. We
operate through a listserv at Miami University in Oxford, OH, and are a
*closed* list, meaning that any CG who wishes to join should send to:
