Lloyd --
I came up with somewhat of a bizarre correlation after reading about your experience... Given that Parkinson disease is a disorder of dopamine dysfunction, if you're not having any generalized dementia (like I am), maybe it's like you're having "akathisia" (a side effect of the dopamine-blocking antipsychotics). Before I had any parkinsonian syndrome, I was on the stuff for depression/bipolar and the thing drove me nuts (ironically!) as time seemed to stand still.
[EDIT: "The stuff" meant an antipsychotic, Zyprexa/olanzapine in my case.]
