Philip, Saw your post and thought you might be interested in my case. I have Parkinson's and Iam service connected for it. Iam 52 years old and my Parkinson's dates back some 30 years.(diagnosed at age 21) I was diagnosed in 1967 but we don't really know the cause. As far as adrenalin I couldn't say but you are in for a tough fight in establishing your claim. If you have any questions of me, I would be more than happy to try to answer them. I'm sorry I can't be of more help to your specific question. Best Regards, Russell Ahlstrom [log in to unmask] 52/31
