Dear Kathie,
You wrote about trauma triggering Parkinson's symptoms.  Yes, yes, yes.
 Maybe I would have gotten PD eventually but having emergency gall bladder
surgery that made me tired, tired, tired and my left foot start shaking
certainly hurried my diagnosis and entry into Parkinson Land.  I've mentioned
this before on this list and got several replies from others that had had a
heart operation or a shock or the flu etc.  One Doctor had even agreed that
when the body is under stress it sometimes is weakened to the point of
displaying and having PD symptoms.
I hate this stuff.
