Thanks in advance. > (Whoever thought a listserve would be my most important link to the > world?) Kathy > This all sounds very positive and I'm glad to hear you and your mom are feeling better about things and well on the way to managing PD. This is how to get to the "Archives". Go on the Internet to: http://james.parkinsons.org.uk/search.htm hint - Bookmark this URL for future reference. Scroll down the page to "How to use the search engine" and when you've read enough, click on the underlined text "go to the search screen". That gets you to the "Full Text Search" page. Type the words constipation protocol in the search box and click on search. This will bring up past postings on the ways to manage constipation. Scroll down the list of postings and simply click on any that spark your interest. Then (after you read it) click on your "back" button to backup to the list of posts and select another to read. Or backup one more page to the search box to start a new search on a new topic. Similarly typing any subject in the search box (foot cramps) (neurontin) (tremors) (apomorphine) (chia pets) (Parkinsaw) lets you read previous posts. I said ANY subject! I hope this is straight forward enough. Let me know how you make out. All the best, ............ Murray [log in to unmask]
