If PD were just a shortage of dopamine inhibiting movement, this could not happen. That it does would seem to indicate a control problem of an unusual nature. It also means that far too much money goes into levodopa research and too little into other areas.

I don't have resting tremor but my gait disorder and bradykinesia are helped by 'moving sideways' instead of foward, even thought the the motion is a foward motion. When my brain thinks sideways, I just move better, and I don't know why, but it works.  |
