So far I have only had seven replies to my survey of those whose first PD
symptom was a frozen shoulder. That's nowhere near enough information to
find a pattern. Yet I am convinced a pattern of symptoms must exist. If
there is order in every part of the Universe, why is it that PD is such a
disorderly disease with differing symptoms, reactions, rates of progression,
etc.?
Please contact me at [log in to unmask] if you have ever had a frozen shoulder,
even if at this time you do not connect it with the onset of PD. When I
complete this survey, I'll start another survey for people whose PD started
with a different symptom.
For your convenience I'll post my frozen shoulder survey below.
