Bless you Bob, I had read that also, and I really was wondering what it was I really have, because I'm getting weaker each year.

Fatigue and weakness are two of my most irritating symptoms. just me, Marjorie 55/58/68 At 08:30 AM 11/28/2000 -0800, you wrote: >Date sent: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 22:20:49 -0800 >Send reply to: David Meigs <[log in to unmask]> >From: David Meigs <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Weakness in PD? >To: [log in to unmask] > > > According to all I have read it seems that weakness does not occur in > > PD.
