Janice When you are looking for a support group you need to find a Young Onset Group, although they seem to be few and far between. Our group does have a few retired people and a couple who use wheelchairs when necessary, but we are all young at heart. Our ages range from 26-65 with a wide range of Parkinson's. Our meetings are 2 hours long, but more importantly we sit on "cushy" chairs and sofas, have a half time refreshment break, and a LOT of interaction! Oh, and our speakers, which are every other month, have ranged from doctors to yoga instructors. Last month we had a speaker on Y2K preparedness. I too enjoy the list and have gotten a lot of good information from it (although, I've been pushing the delete button quite a bit lately!). But sometimes it is nice to talk to "real" people and get a reply to your questions right away. Sharon H
