This'll calm them down

People over 50 with anxiety may be up to twice as likely to develop Parkinson’s disease as their peers without anxiety, a new analysis suggests.

Study suggests connection between anxiety and Parkinson’s diseasewww.washingtonpost.com Researchers compared people 50 and older who were diagnosed with a first episode of anxiety between 2008 and 2018 with a control group without anxiety.

Automatic flashback to George Carlin in the '80s. "The latest research shows you can get cancer from hoping you don't get it."

Marvellous. Something else to look forward to.

Speaking as one of "them", no it will not. Sigh. Not the future I thought we were getting.

So not only do I have anxiety but my hands often start shaking when I go too long without eating. I suspect low blood sugar as the shaking stops soon after I binge on carbs and sweets.

Oh, yea. Something fun to look forward to.😔

Or sign of Lewy Body Dementia. but that shows up in the 60's.
