marilyn, do you have foot pain and circulation problems in the feet? my mother, who is also 72, had very bad pain and bad circulation in her feet, and so far her doctor has not been very helpful at all. i have tried to figure out what to do for her, but since no one can tell her if the arthritis causes the problem or what, i dont even know where to start. any help from anyone would be appreciated, she sure doesnt need this along with the other problems of PD. thanks paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Knight" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 4:22 PM Subject: Re: How do you tactfully handle this situation? > Rayilyn, I hope you don't mind if I jump in on your email message but I > know just what you're talking about.
