He (my brother,age 42) has seen several PD "specialists" who's names I do
not recall;
Including a trip to Canada for extensive neuro testing. He has also been
seeing a doc @ Baylor U.who is ( if memory serves me ) head of neuro there.
However, I will heartily agree with you that he has not seen the right one yet!
When pressed for the cause of his PD they have said:*probably* trauma induced.
Personally, I feel that this meaningless phrase speaks volumes, i.e.,"we
don't have a clue". The Parkinson's "Pilot Error" phrase.
The fact is, the tremors (right hand) began shortly after shoulder surgery
and have progressed since.None of the PD MDs will entertain (admit?) a
relationship
to the surgery and I have no cause or credentials to challenge them.(I have
no axe to grind here, but I feel that I'm in an information vacuum.) I have
heard of similar cases and would like to hear from anyone with information
re-
lated to the topic. To all who view this missive, I offer my apologies if I
seem cynical or angry, I'm actually trying to *lighten up*!!:]
Thanx for allowing me vent a little.
