Definitely going to try this recipe.

Also, why be a doctor if you can't be bothered listening with an open mind to your patients while they describe their symptoms?

Try it! Someone substituted chicken for cauliflower for a veggie option, which I now have to try 😋

The medical profession can be amazing and infuriating simultaneously!

This is a question I have repeatedly asked myself ( and other people). Actually, why be a doctor if you have a complete lack of empathy?

It is...I'd like it best over looking the sparkling Strait of Messina 😁

Yeah, that's the bit I can never quite grasp about this bizarre illness, things come at you out of the blue!

my first encounter with this site...

I have sometimes wondered whether some of the fatigue may come from these "invisible" tremors. Why shouldn't we be tired if, below the regular magnitude of our tremors, there is a certain background tremor happening? I compare it to the record of a seismograph on a normal, quiet day. The pen is never inactive, yet we don't perceive any seismic activity.

I remember the first time I saw one of these micro-tremors. My hand was a bit damp and I noticed a shimmering of the skin. That was the only sign but, at least in my mind's eye I could synchronise the imperceptible shake with a sensation of physical movement. I've been able to repeat this observation but not every time I've tried.

Ah, the mysteries that are PD.

Hi, I hadn't thought of trying the water experiment! You are so right about being tired with all the background activity. It's like an idling engine.

I certainly get palpitations frequently now. I'm not convinced it's solely anxiety!

Thank you! The ever changing whirlwind that is parky.
