I tell you what folks, I found this list while gathering information for my father in law who has PD. My wife has fibromyalgia and rhuemetoid arthritis but I choose to stay on this list and the care=givers list that is associated with this one. Both of these lists are better than anything I have found regarding my wifes two conditions. I do believe that this is the best list around. JWBJRIII PS. this is my first post on the general list. I will admit to posting often on the care givers list though. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Chapman <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wednesday, May 05, 1999 7:20 PM Subject: Re: Another list?
