Dear Listfriends We're back home again, after a very nice stay in Florida. We've decided not to sell our home, but to have a small condo in Fla instead, which is a big relief to me -- I won't have to move again! I attended a wonderful first meeting of a new Young-Onset Group in Ft. Lauderdale; the leader, Carol Eichhorn, is very warm and encouraging. This group has an excellent future, and I would encourage anyone in the area to try to attend. This is probably old news, but in case it hasn't come up on the list: Subthalamic brain stimulation may improve gait in Parkinson's patients -- Reuters Medical News http://my.webmd.com/news/523833 Also, I will "speak" on nutrition and PD in the WebMD chat room next Monday, should anyone care to "attend."
