Kathleen: Of course you are right. My most painful symptom is dystonia in my foot which is a muscular/nerve disorder (I would guess---have to have latitude because I'm a civil engineer, not an MD). One of the more annoying symptoms, addressed with Ambian CR daily is insomnia and then there are the sensory and eyesight problems neither of which fall into the movement disorder category.

PD affects everything, including cognition and mood. The sooner we all admit that, the sooner we can break out of the box our fragmented, competitive system of health care and medical specialties has put us in.
