Pages 25 - 29 will bolster your case.
Stress can be good IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. When driving, if a car in front
of me stops suddenly or a pedestrian walks out in front of me, my foot goes
to the brake far faster than I could do the same activity as an exercise.
It has been noted that in the event of fire in nursing homes, Parkinson's
patients are able to get out on their own more quickly than most other
residents

Thank you for the insight into stress and PD, but what I really need is an
authoritative source documenting the effects of stress on PD. I am a
retired (due to PD) police officer and need this info for pension
negotiations.
Would also like to hear from other young onset PWP, especially police
officers.
Any help is appreciated.
