sandra Posted May 28 2007 7:14AM	Where can I find more in depth info on Parkinsons. My 92 year old grandfmother has this disease. She is currently having leg pains which medical professionals can find no basis for. Is this a result of Parkinson's or is the depression she is suffering creating pains that do not have a physical basis. Searching for some answers. Thanks

burns311 Posted Aug 16 2008 9:17AM	In the next few weeks we will be making our final push for a petition asking the postal service to create a stamp to promote awareness of Parkinson's disease. Our goal is to obtain 5,000 signatures. (currently we have about 3200 signatures) With your help, we can do this. Please send this link to the petition to friends & family far and wide. http://www.pdstamp.org . . . Jean
