This is something that I, too, had wondered about. But, the
length of time between injury and PD onset makes it unlikely.
I suffered a small skull fracture in an automobile accident in
1975. The onset of my PD symptoms was in 1995.
And, for some reason, my mother tried to take part of the
blame by saying that I was a "forceps baby." I think she worried
that this had caused my life-long minor tremor that perhaps grew
to full-blown PD.
I don't think either event had anything to do with it. But,
it did give rise to thought.
