David - Thanks for your efforts to get Parkinson's included in the survey. In answer to your question about sense of smell: Dr. William Koller of the University of Kansas Medical Center has been involved in or participating in the study of the sense of smell. My husband took the test a number of years ago as part of this study, and like most of the respondents on this list, discovered that he couldn't distinguish between two very disparate smells. (I was in the room when he took the test, and although I was seated about 3 feet away, I could clearly identify the scents - for example, when I clearly smelled bubble gum, he was trying to decide whether he was smelling violets or fuel oil). If you would like more information, I would be happy to call KU Med and see if I can find out who was in charge of this study. Margie Swindler [log in to unmask]
