Hi Murray and Deborah


My bones/body now makes clicking/cracking/creaking sounds which I definitely
attribute to pd and atrophy.  For the life of me if I tried to make my
fingers  crack like some of my friends could. do.....nada ......couldn't do
it.

Heh Murray between the back problems and the creaking stuff I guess we
should be staying off our computers and exercising.

I found a flex ball really helps.

Bonnie
