Karen I am the facilitator for our Young Parkinson's Support Group in Rockford, IL. I'm 51 and have had Parkinson's for 8 years or I should say that's when I was diagnosed. I remember when I first went to my family doctor with my symptoms and I myself suggested it was Parkinson's, he said I was too young. I think I have helped to expand his medical knowledge! I have the Young Parkinson's Handbook put out by the APDA. If you'd like a copy send me your address. Or as Jennifer suggested, call Susan Reese (800-223-9776). She's the coordinator for the Arlette Johnson Young Parkinson's Information and Referral Center and a great person to talk to. You can e-mail her too ([log in to unmask]). Sharon
