Interesting. If your wife gives you some info, could you ping me?

Just what we need. Dementia on top of crazy and evil.

I still wonder where the scar on his head came from. It looks surgical.

Has OBama had Brain surgery? (see picture)

Will do. We have been married for 24 years and I have gained substantial PD knowledge through osmosis (that is our joke). I have been on a couple PD nonprofit boards and for years did my Wife's stats. The one study that stood out was done in 1996. They sat down and did a 25 page questionnaire with 660 PD patients. The two findings which stood out was the maternal to son genetic connection. These patients had the absolute worse outcomes and the most rapid decline. This was based on the Hoehn & Yahr clinical scale. The troubling part of this group is the almost universal incidence of very young onset dementia.

I mentioned this thread prior to her heading off to bed. She mentioned that she hadn't noticed any give away signs, but would be looking much closer. I have been always amazed when we are walking about and she mentions different neurological disorders people have as they walk by. She would point out different symptoms that are very subtle to most people, but dead give aways to a specialist.

One thing we have noticed is what looks like a past craniotomy scar.
