Default Hello, everyone

I'm new to this site, and glad to have come across it. About a year ago, at age 43, I was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's. I have been fortunate so far in that my symptoms have remained quite mild. I am interested in learning any thing I can about strategies to slow the progression of the illness and have been investigating alternative treatments. I'd be interested in communicating with anyone having a similar interest, as well as meeting new friends in general. Nice to be here, and I look forward to getting to know other members. Sincerely, Paul Q.

Smile Hi, Paul!

It's real good to meet you! Welcome to the NeuroTalk forums. I have no experience with Parkinson's disease, but I do like to talk and learn, and I try to be helpful and friendly. So do others here on the site. I hope you like it here, and make a few friends. I am always available if you just want to talk. Good luck and all my best wishes, Paul!

Although you addressed your thankyou to Idealist, I thought I'd reply to your thank you anyway.

It's good to meet you Paul, and I do so hope you find the answers and support that you're looking for.

As far as the welcomes go.....
