There certainly is a link - I reacted the same after falling and breaking my shoulder 2 years ago - that's when walking problems set in.(fell on my tailbone once but am quite plump which helped there.) Good luck to Laureen.> Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2012 09:30:27 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: decline after fall > To: [log in to unmask] > > 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. > > Ray > > Rayilyn Brown > Past Director AZNPF > Arizona Chapter National Parkinson Foundation > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
