This is my first message to the list. Just want to report that the toes on my left foot have been curling for at least 4 years. I have had PD for about 12 years. I find that I kick my left shoe off a lot.[It is my left side that is affected so far] I am always more comfortable bare footed since having PD. and my balance is better too.. I am getting a corn on the end of my middle toe from the way I walk. My podiatrist says that the PD causes the curling.-----I enjoy reading your messages. Thanks. Aileen L. "C. Y.
