Hi, In reply to your e-mail, I think that it would be a great idea to start throwing around some of the diseases that the PD patients have had in their childhood all the way till maybe ten years before the onset of their PD. I will start, my father had a major depression in 1982 caused by some political related events. He started developing PD in 1984. Other diseases he had in his childhood include Typhoid (excessive fever) which caused him to skip school for a semester. My dad is now 66 years old. I hope you find this beneficial. Let's collect more feedback on this, I am really interested in it. Let's title our e-mail regarding this using the words "Medical History" for easier identification as we scan through our mail.
