David, I won't comment on all of the symptoms which others have responded to,
except to say that they all seem to be frequently found in many, not all, PWP. I
can't understand why you think PD is questionable unless it is 'denial' (a river
in Egypt) and I don't know why you don't take meds, when they very probably
lessen the acuity of  most, if not all, of the symptoms you have a problem with
and which seem to be manifested more so when stress is present.
