Den:
I read you query about thyroid testing and said to myself "boy, he pulled
that out from nowhere!" Then, I remembered that I also had my thyroid
function tested (uptake test?) many years ago. I can't remember whether the
test pre-dated the onset of my PD symptoms. Anyway, my test was positive -
confirming Hashimoto's syndrome. My immune system is eating away my
thyroid. Tell me if you get more positive responses to your query.
