Dear Lori ,-
I did not understand everything you wrote ,but I think most of it. 10 years ago I was assaulted by a Shizofren 17 year strong boy, he came behind me, hold my arm and hit me many times in the head and neck.
After that I had a lot of jerking in my torso, centred from the diaphragms, and I started to speak with cramps and sometimes paralytic voice, "stamming" . This went on for some months . Many things happened, I was in hospital for 10 days ,and on recreation for 1 mnd. , never go back to my work, everything changed , my concentration, my voice, my body .

It has been a never ending process ,something happened after this hitting and my family and friends says that my PD has causality with that assault.
Reading your story ,I wonder if there is any connection between damage to the head and PD. Got my diagnose July-05, no PD in my family

All the best for you - dear Lori
