Re: Different symptoms - PD plus?

[Parkinson's Disease Foundation <pdfchgo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When your doctor diagnosed you as having PD+, did he suggest which of the
PD+ disorders you might have?  There are several different ones known and
most have organizations dedicated to helping patients and their families
(just as there are PD organizations dedicated to PD patients and their
families).  These groups can be of great help - even if just to share
experiences and such.  While I work for the PDF, my grandfather had
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (one of the PD+ syndromes) and I received
lots of help from the Society for PSP.
