I checked my news reader and did a search for Parkinson's - it came up
zero.  I did find some sites using google, but not sure that is what you
are looking for.

Take care,
Julie

Ny news server does not list alt.support.parkinson or parkinsons,
either.  Nor can I find a support group for Parkinson's down on the
soc.* hierarchy, which is where many other support groups live.

It is always possible to create a new newsgroup on a subject that's
important.  If you wish to create one on the alt.* heirarchy, which is
the easiest, the place to lurk for a while is on alt.config - the people
who actually know how to or are in the process of creating new groups
talk there.

It is more difficult to create new groups in the Big 8 hierarchies (the
soc.* heirarchy is the only one in which I found support groups, by the
way, although I'll admit it was the only one in which I *expected* to
find support groups and therefore I kind of skimmed the others).
news.groups is the place to go for answers on how group creation, there.

There is one further source of information of which you might avail
yourself:  periodically, a more or less complete list of support groups
- mailing lists as well as newsgroups - is or used to be posted down on
news.answers.  You might have a look at that - it still existed the last
time I wanted it, a couple of years ago.

Blessed be,
Baird

If you put "Parkinson's support group" into Google there are lots
of results. Might find one you like.
