"We all have widely differing combinations of symptoms"

How many of us don't suffer from tremor and/or rigidity and/or bradykinesia and/or impaired balance.

Remember pd is wrongly diagnosed many times.

"We all suffer widely differing drug side effects".

These are strong drugs taken by people of differing ages at different levels of health. My Neuro reckons Paracetemol with its side effects would be difficult to clear the authorities nowadays.

"We all have widely varying rates and profiles of PD progression".

What is new here, every disease does this, thats why we don't all die from Cancer. With pd we all end up pretty much the same.

Nice thoughts, nice thread, but I do believe in PD.
