...OK, I know I have a certain reputation as a, shall we say, unconventional researcher (see "banding" series).

One thing I have been experimenting with is the psychogenic possibilities of PD. Specifically, crap from childhood affecting the present. I have been experimenting with a sort of self referential analysis. OK, I talk to mysely in free association mode. What of it Daffy?

One feature of my childhood was too much responsibility for one so young. Last night in free associating I spontaneously came up with the concept of needing to "lay my burden down."

Upon reflection, I realize that there are two places where I carry tension and which act up with my PD symptoms. The one that I keyed into here was my shoulders (the other my abdominal wall). Given the common incidence of frozen shoulder and such, I can't help but wonder....
