Hi again Sandra, I found your other posting. I don't know anything about hormonal problems or therapy. But, during your delivery did you have any aneasthetic. I have seen other messages alluding to concerns that it may be part of causing PD. I had two shoulder operations under a general. Both times I shook uncontrollably and was vioelently ill. I had troulble rehabbing my shoulder, which later was determined to be because of PD. I have always been suspicious.
