I am a doctor with Parkinson's Disease. My friends and professional colleagues find it ironic that during my medical training at Johns Hopkins and my research training at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I conducted award-winning brain research. Before ever suspecting I had Parkinson's I wrote books, articles and presentations about the brain. Adding to this irony is that one area of strong research interest was dopamine, the brain chemical missing in Parkinson's. After my diagnosis 5 years ago at age 44 I dove head first into finding out what works, what might work, what's just plain Vodoo, what to expect, and how you and your loved ones can deal best with this condition. I want to share this knowledge with you and learn as much as I can from your input. I invite doctors, patients, family members, friends, researchers and anyone just interested in this condition and in finding better treatments and even a cure someday.
