Greg Sterling posed the question of how stress affects PD.mechanism, etc. There is an anticle in Harvard Women's Health Watch,(Volume VII Number 2, October 1999) "Gender and Stress" which doesn't speciffically address PD, but does involve the adrenal gland and the excretion of catecholamines which does affect the balance of dopamine. Hence that suggests to me a possible mechanism for stress accentuating PD symptoms. E:Mail [log in to unmask] or HWHW, Dept.
