Re: Information Please

Hi Eldon,

>I have been on this list only a short time.  Please tell me
what the following
>mean.  PWPs  and   65/11

It is difficult to talk about people who have Parkinson's
Disease without offending someone.  One will object to
"patient", another to "sufferer" etc.  So  this list uses
"PWP", meaning "Person/people With Parkinson's", and so we
avoid dissension.

65/11, for example refers to someone being 65 years old at
present, and diagnosed with PD 11 years ago.  It helps
readers to evaluate advice,etc, for writers, in light of
their age and PD experience.
