I have thought about this too. It's nice that you've mentioned it here. Whenever I've had to explain to someone that it's more than just the stiff ness and tremor they look at me like I'm werid. I have to explain to them that it affects the whole body including the plumbing to put it lightly. They seem to understand once I explain that it's all about slowing down and stiffening up. John |

The Langston piece is a good start. I think I am going to mail it to every doctor that I am likely to encounter.
If the inflammatory thing holds up, it could be argued that it isn't even a neurological disorder in the strict sense. The immune system is the culprit and the CNS is just an innocent bystander. That's going to be a tough sell.
