Scott and All In 2008 I fell on my tailbone and it took a year to get better although was told nothing was broken. This fall marked the beginning of my 2nd PD decline. My first was in 2002-2003 with my Mother’s stroke and death between my DBS surgeries in 2003. I am convinced that physical and emotional traumas make this disease worse by speeding progression. I am thinking specifically now of Laureen’s situation of falling while on the neupro patch. She has been in better shape than me until now. Scott, this really upsets me. I feared there might be a problem as she has not emailed me. Please tell her I send my love her way.
