(My first posting of this appears to be out beyond the orbit of the comets. If I have doubled up please excuse me.) Add me to the list. At age 26 (11 years prior to being diagnosed with pd) I too was involved in an accident in which my head made violent contact with the windscreen of the car in which I was a passenger. At the time I suffered from a bad headache, concussion, and I lost a bit of blood. I also appear on the list of those who have been exposed to suspicious chemical and environmental factors (I at one time worked on a farm, and at another spent 4 years at war). I can even put myself down as a possible on the genetic list because, whilst I have no known ancestors with PD, I do have a description of one of my grandfathers as "the slowest man who ever lived, until he got into a car". Another description of him washing his hands 'one finger at a time' really makes me wonder. I have also at times been described as an idiot which I suppose makes sense of my actual diagnoses of idiopathic parkinsons. If I'd known that I was going to get PD I would have kept my life simpler in the hope of isolating the cause. To late they cried. To late indeed.
