It's hard enough to diagnose the living!<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words about the blog.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />PeterPeter Dunlap-Shohlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286710554254177150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336643719537144495.post-72208145816607434522009-10-27T19:48:42.297-07:002009-10-27T19:48:42.297-07:00Wasn't PD called "paralysis agitans"...Wasn't PD called "paralysis agitans" (shaking palsey) for many centuries? Before James PArkinson wrote his classic article in 1817? I'm trying to find out more on what may or may not have been done for my husband's great great grandfather who was diagnosed with "paralysis agitans" in the early 1900s. He died in 1905 at age 72. My husband's great grandmother (the above's daughter) may have been developing PD as well, but she died in 1911 at age 44. BTW, I really enjoy your artwork and stories!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
