disbelief that one's symptoms are all "some kind of mental fabrication" REALLY, REALLY, pishes me off, BIG TIME. WE are physically ill, for the most part we are not seriously mentally ill. Sure, some of the unexplainable quirks that we experience may be "unbelievable" to some people, but WE know that these things are REAL and not some figment of our imagination, or attention getting ploy. Only a very experienced Neurologist understands the sometimes inexplicable vagaries of PD. Unfortunately, they are few and far between to find. The medical books need a total revamp in their descriptions of PD, and it's modern treatment, imho.
