Deborah, You wrote, "I feel like I'm my own personal bowl of Rice Krispies." What a perfect description! I agree, it is not painful but it is noisy and somewhat embarrassing at times. I've recieved suggestions of arthritis and osteoporosis. Oh boy, just what I wanted, some other degenrative condition! I guess I'll ask my neurologist about it at my next appointment . Having gotten past the embarrassment of asking it once, asking it a second time should be no problem. If you hear anything else, please let me know.
