Thank you so much for all your responses. I've called one of the 800 numbers that someone sent to get some free literature on Parkinson's. I guess I do sound a little panicy but I'm the type I want all the information that I can get so that I am prepared for what is to happen or try and counteract inferior treatment. I guess I started when a teacher suggested that I might want to get my son checked for ADHD and it was suggested I put him on Ritalin. Well, to make a long story short, it has been like night/day with him. But I do have to monitor what he eats, weight gain, tolerence etc. I read every book I could find, talked with the patient education dept of 2 hospitals, my doctor. I'm following the same basic procedure here. From the information I have learned so far...it seems that Parkinsons is more of a condition than a disease that has to be maintained (depending on the severity) through medicine and diet, as well as adjusting the person's environment to help him/her live life to the fullest at what ever stage they are at. Am I too far off base? Cindy _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
