I found your blog very informative, especially for those who may be looking for information about PD for the first time. It is always so uplifting each time I come across another blogger who is willing to reach out to help others through these blogs.<BR/><BR/>NicolePatient With A Planhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474155120060661405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745927973487262796.post-29220697332370573352008-08-14T18:22:00.000-07:002008-08-14T18:22:00.000-07:00Marla,I know I definitely feel old.

I have been away for awhile, but I think I am back up and ready to push on. It is interesting that you refer to PD-Plus, because my MDS was concerned about that being a potential diagnosis in my case. It is very interesting how one patient may have regular PD with slow progression, regular PD with more rapid progression, or a variant for of Parkinsonism. All of these aspects continue to intrigue me. <BR/>NicolePatient With A Planhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474155120060661405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745927973487262796.post-84496463032798591722008-07-21T13:12:00.000-07:002008-07-21T13:12:00.000-07:00How are things going?

Yet, genetics certainly play a role for some. For others, the head injury history may be the culprit. It is so hard to know what causes the proteins to clump up and the basal ganglia to lose cells. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, your article was intriguing. I recently missed the support group meeting. If you were there, I am sorry. Our Labrador retriever was ill and I needed to look after her.<BR/><BR/>Talk to you soon!

So, I take it all with a grain of salt. Predisposed? Maybe. I think there is still much to be learned. Sounds like you will be delving further. Good for you; we all need to do and learn what we can, obviously the researchers don't have all the answers.Diane J Standifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862850657925658079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745927973487262796.post-6794584500684050112008-04-03T10:35:00.000-07:002008-04-03T10:35:00.000-07:00I don't think the link between PD and pesticides c...I don't think the link between PD and pesticides can be ignored. I definitely think that if you are predisposed to having PD, environmental factors, such as exposure to pesticides, can trigger it. <BR/>I've been doing a bit of research myself on the genetic aspect of it. It's a little tricky since my husband is the one with PD - his mother (now deceased) also had it, but his brother has Parkinson's Plus, or MSA. I wonder what would cause one family member to have "regular" PD, while another has PD+?<BR/>I'm very interested in your research on the matter. Can't wait to see what you post!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028605196046293307noreply@blogger.com
