(any advice that is possibly not >given by doctors, etc.), it would be much appreciated. Get a second opinion. I read somewhere that 40% of Parkinson's cases are misdiagnosed. It is worth the time to do. Some Dr.s are better than others, make sure she goes to a movement disorders specialist not just a neurologist. If she isn't happy with one pick another one. Remember this is going to be for the rest of her life! I've had Parkinson's disease for over 20 years and the one thing that I found that made a difference in my daily life was exercise. Have her start some kind of program, or walk every day. Recently I went to a clinic where there were several Parkinson's people introducing themselves and three of them said they wished they had known then what they know now...that It isn't as bad as they thought it was going to become. jjjane http://www.geocities.com/soho/village/6263/pienet/people/hithross.html
