Caryle -- Keep asking those questions. If someone didn't ask "why" something occurred there would be very little research going on. You never know where a correlation may be found. While we can't assume a cause for PD, we can't rule something out for the same reason --because we don't know the cause(s). You never know what a line of questioning might spark in someone. IMHO, "why" is a better and much more productive question to ask than "why me?".

I smoked on and off for about 5 years - maybe 3 to 5 cigarettes a day at the most. The only toxins that I have had long exposure to was second hand smoke. So you can see that I am very puzzled about the cause in my case. > > Caryle 41/40/37 > > Nancy Porter <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Caryle, > > Just curious. > > Why limit the question about smoke?
