Well I called about the clinical research and wouldnt even if I could on this one! The girl that was supposed to be asking my questions, told me, over the phone, I didnt have PD and I should go see my family DR for a checkup. She says shimmie shakes, muscle stiffness, hard time swallowing and my eyes locking up on me are NOT symptoms of PD. She says its something else.
Also because I have skin cancer I cant do it anyway,(Thank God). I asked her if she was a DR and she said no so I said how do you know its not PD and she said cause those r not symptoms of PD! Well, I guess I was told wrong all this time huh? She was really upset cause I dont take any meds. It really bothered her alot. She says my family Dr should help me out. Guess I am glad. They dont know what they are talking about I think. What do you think? Sue

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The bigger question is if she doesn't think you have PD then what meds is she upset about you not taking?
