Dear Nigel-- I hope you've had some responses. My comment would be that
ANY stressful situation makes symptoms worse, but I'm not sure that this is
"progression" of the PD. In most cases the aggravation of symptoms will
recede when / if the stress is reduced. I will add that Peter was VERY
stressed and disoriented when we moved last January, and it has taken
months for him to feel "at home" in the new place, even though he likes it.
There has been a gradual return to "normal for him", but it is hard to
differentiate what is caused by stress and what by progression, as he has
been dxd 11.5 years, and probably had PD "coming on" for 15 or so years
before that. I don't know if this is what you were seeking, but hope it
helps.
