how little we know about PD!!
This test evidently will enable doctors to diagnose PD muuch earlier. It has something to do with an excess protein that all Parkies have.
A question for you...do you still have a sense of smell??
most of us "non-gene" suffers do not have one, but it appears that those who get it gentically keep theirs. This supposition is the result of a very unscientific poll I am conducting.

This might be a clue as to which kind one has.
In an event it is interesting stuff. We keep chipping away at the answer.

Sorry about your shoulder. Did you get an ultrasound of it??
As you know we DBS'ers are prohibited from full body MRI's. I think as long as you stay at 1.5 Tesla or below your risk is minimal. Oh well, better to err on the conservative side of things!!
