Interesting thread. There are so many tantalizing questions about PD. This illness, perhaps more than any other, is defined by correlation of symptoms rather than by what bug or gene causes our plight. I don't seem to have any particular artistic ability. I attempted to play the guitar for a few years - 30 years ago. Finally gave it up because I seemed to have no sense of rhythm in my right hand and I never figured out how to hold onto the pick securely. Now I can't hold onto a pill. Is there a connection:-) ?
