@larry68 I've never heard of this. You might check with your neurologist about this theory.

@larry68 Never heard this. I have CKD stage 3b for over 10 years and have PD. Neither my Neurologist nor my Nephrologist ever connected the 2.

@larry68
The Davis Phinney Foundation is also a very good website to check for information about PD. They have monthly webinars that are posted on YouTube. You might find their website helpful. Here is a link to their website: https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/

Hi @larry68 - you'll note that I moved your mention of whether Parkinson's starts in the kidneys to its own discussion, as I thought that it merited it and that others might see it better.
