hey herb and everybody else with cold pd hand(s):
ditto on this for me
i am frequently colder on my affected side
my neuro ignored me when i asked about this
said he did't know about that
my affected side is sometimes "darker"
than the other and has concerned
i think it has to do with the autonomic nervous system
perpheral denervation
you know
hypotension
bladder urgency
constipation
etc...
there was a paper that came through here
a couple months ago on pd effect on heart biochem
so someone is working on it
(a lady in our support group just got a pacemaker--
is this common? i haven't heard it discussed, so i hope not)
my g.p. doctor gave me EKG and doppler jugular test
before i was diagnosed for pd
so it showed enough for him to be concerned or curious
this winter has made me real aware of keeping warm
