This is another theory I've always felt could apply to my PD. I had two children in two years in my 30s and immediately following became hypothyroid and went into very early menopause. By my late 30s I had all the symptoms described iin the new PD definition - many gastrointestinal as well as the classic no arm swing, bad handwriting, etc. Diagnosed at 42 only because I finally faced the music and went to a neurologist. I had all the symptoms in my 30s following my second pregnancy.
