It seems strange, but after smoking heavily for what, 40 years or so, I decided to quit, and quit I did. Then, 2 years after quiting, I got Parkinsons. Does this mean that I would not have developed Parkinsons had I continued smoking? I think not. I am beginning to think that, like everything else, Parkinsons is present for a reason. Anyone want to try a guess at what the reason might be? [log in to unmask]
