Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I am often dismayed by the frequently conflicting "information" originating from people and organisations with "their own barrow to push", as we say here. Not so in your case. :-) Dr. Daniel Chan (see previous letter about Beijing visit) is investigating, among other things, the possible affects of adrenaline on PD sufferers. Three of our research team are "parkies". Each of us relates similar reactions to stress, be it pleasurable or otherwise. The more stress (or excitement), the worse the dyskinesia, followed by bradykinesia and accompanying depression, followed by a longish recovery period. Triggers can be your football team scoring in a close game, attending a family wedding, public speaking (despite the fact that we three are all public speakers of long standing, and have no problem with the concept), exciting "action" television, etc. Kinda takes the fun out of things, huh? Any thoughts? (BTW, I don't want to become a pest. It is just that I relay information received to our Web site, the only one in the Land of Oz, as far as I can tell.) Jim
