Equipment Operators with Parkinsons Disease.

Hi, can I ask the members of this board please if they know of any grader/dozer operators with Parkinsons Disease. We are wondering if there is some connection here caused by severe vibration of machinery, especially from hard roads and quarry work. Being diagnosed with it myself at 65 and killin me a half inch at a time my doctor informed me of two others he treats, 1 grader and 1 dozerman all living near me. I have run graders for over 30yrs and dozers in quarries sometime on hard ripping which knocks machine and beast about. I have been ordered off the machines now because of obvious OHS issues and limit myself to lawn mower and whipsnip. Your feedback guys would be much appreciated. If anyone wished to speak to me privately rather than on this board, confidence assured, my email address is mapabear@dodo.com.au
My doctor who is a great guy is a GP but specialises in this insideous disease and maybe interested in some statisics if there is something grossly appearent here. Cheers and regards to all Pa Bear in Tassie Australia.
