Welcome to what I think is the best support group I belong to....it is NEVER closed and you can post and read posts at your convenience. Your husband is fortunate that you are seeking information to help you both understand the ups and downs of living with Parkinson's. We(some of us) sign our names and if we are pwp(persons with Parkinson's) followed by our age now/age when diagnosed/age when pd symptoms lst appeared or as cg(caregiver) and can then(if wish to) list name of pwp's age now/age dx'd/age symptomatic. Jeanette Fuhr 49/47/44? ---------- From: Susan Schmidt <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: The List Date: Wednesday, December 15, 1999 10:42 PM Last night I could not sleep. My husband often wakes me up because he either cannot sleep himself or he is kicking me every few seconds until I am totally awake. I decided to search for a place where I could get some kind of info on this disease called Parkinsons. I am the care giver so I cannot begin to imagin what my husband is going thru, but I have to try. I need all the information and feedback from people who are going thru the same things he is so I will be better able to help him. So after much searching I found this list. I admit I did not expect much so when I came home from work and saw 22 messages on my machine I thought Mercy, what have I gotten into? I have read all 22 messages plus and I want to tell you that I appreceiate the information contained in each of them. I feel better now that I have some source that I can refer to when things get too confusing . I think belonging to this list will help me to understand my husbands situation much better. Thank you all. Susan Schmidt
