The Caregivers' List
for Parkinson's Disease
Camilla Flintermann and Jeff Jones operate a listserv for caregivers as an adjunct to the Parkinsn listserv. It is designed to meet the needs peculiar to the person who is caregiver to a Parkinson patient. Jeff Jones has assembled a comprehensive website for caregivers. Or contact Camilla directly by e-mail and/or visit her web-site for more information.
Camilla writes: "For the benefit of new members of the PD list, this is an update about CARE (Caregivers Are Really Essential), the sublist especially for PD caregivers (CGs). The need for such a list was evident from feelings expressed on the PD list that there were times when CGs needed to be able to 'let off steam' in a place where this would not upset carepartners (CPs). Some of us have caregiver support groups, where we can safely express feelings, get practical support, and share experiences--others do not. The CARE list serves this need, but DOES NOT shut off participation by CGs on the mainlist. We operate through a listserv at Miami University, Oxford,Ohio."
This is a closed list, and CGs who wish to join may send a request to Camilla at flintepc@muohio.edu. Instructions will then be sent to you as to how to proceed, when you have been added to the list. List "co-owners" are Jeff Jones and myself. The traffic on CARE is a lot less than the main list, if that is a consideration. Welcome aboard! Questions? email: Camilla Flintermann or Jeff Jones .
