Re: New Member
Jill-- welcome to the list--there are MANY sources of info re: PD, and one place to begin is by calling the Nat'l Parkinson Foundation 1-800-327-4545 and asking for their literature and newsletter. Does your father go to a neurologist? They usually have materials to give to patients, such as the patients' handbook,(PARKINSON'S DISEASE HANDBOOK: a guide for patients and their families) pub. by the American PD Assn. 1-800-223-APDA (ask for a copy from them)which lists other resources. There's a lot to learn, but the more you can understand, the better. No two persons have symptoms,progression,etc. exactly alike There are support groups in many communities, and also we have a caregivers' sublist here, which you can join---let me know if you are interested. Good for you, to be an advocate for your father!(Don't forget the archives!) Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter,76/6+yrs
