I thought there was only 2 different types, tremor dominant (which I was told was a more benign form of P.D.) and the other kind. Not sure of the proper name for "other kind" but there's no tremor and akinesia rears it's ugly head relatively early and symptoms progress more rapidly.
Thanks,

That's all they used to say - tremor dominant or rigidity or something dominant and the latter was said to be more threatening for dementia. But these sub types promise to change clinical trials forever, allowing them to identify which drug or treatment works with which subtype...may not have to waste time if it isn't working for some types.
fingers crossed, I think this could be important stuff,
