In a message dated 97-06-06 06:01:23 EDT, you wrote about '>>any tie-up/connection between adrenalin and Parkinsons. The reason for my query is that I am claiming (or attempting to) against our Veterans affairs department, that the cause of my parkinsons is Service related. I am getting nowhere . I flew in 6 formation aerobatic teams during my service career and there was certainly a lot of adrenalin pumping through me . I seem to recall a tie up between adrenalin in the brain and quite a few other drugs including dopamine. Can anyone help? Philip: I agree with you that there is a possible connection with Parkinson's and 'adrenalin', at least as a possible trigger for chemical events, perhaps resulting from trauma. Check out the WebSite by Jerry Finch, a Viet Nam veteran and a PWP. It is not only full of great short stories about cowboy's, downhome folk, and heroes, but has information about Parkinson's disease, effects of neurotoxin's, and more. My study and story of my own ongoing struggle with Parkinson's, is located under the title A Cry For Help. Check out this hyber-link........
