There are definitely weird things attached to PD. JOhn had a very bad bout of 
panick attacks + dyspneia during the winter. These attacks were really 
frightening and we couldn´t relate them to the treatment and the various 
doses of sinemet.
One night he woke me up once again to tell me one attack was on its way. I don
´t like being wakened up, especially when I cannot do anything about it so, 
half asleep, I told John to recite a poem. He was a little surprised but he 
started to recite the bits he could remember from Tennyson´s Lady of Shalot.
Whether the Lady did something or the use of a forgotten part of his brain 
affected the rest of it, I don´t know but that was the beginning of the end 
of these dreadful panick attacks. From then on, he waited firmly for them to 
reappear and confronted them with new passages of the poem. Worked....so far.
