Tremendous Response

After writing a recent article for The Huffington Post, entitled "What triggers Parkinson's Disease" I received many e-mails from people all over the world, with similar stories to my own. Most of the accounts described some form of surgery or serious illness, that had caused hospitalisation, trauma to the body and emotional well-being, along with long recuperation (understandably with little physical activity whilst recovering) and then within a short period of time the first symptoms appearing, eventually leading to a diagnosis of Parkinson's. Firstly thank you to all those who took the time to write to me; and I hope that someone involved in Parkinson's research has picked up this idea / reasoning, or maybe there is already data being collected along these lines. It can't be purely co-incidence to find so many people with similar reports and thoughts on what triggers Parkinson's. If you have a similar story to tell and you would like to share it, please leave a comment below.
