You're welcome, Mary Ann. PD is indeed the "gift" that keeps on taking. How is Jamie doing these days? Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ann Ryan" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 5:25 AM Subject: Re: PD affects touch and vision Thanks for this, Ray. Jamie has had terrible problems with his vision for ten years or more and is forever insisting that he is holding things in his hands when there is nothing there. This article explains the reason. Jamie once saw a neuro-ophthalmologist who didn't have a clue as to why he had vision problems. Others have reported similar problems with doctors on this list. Hopefully, this research will open the door for different therapies. -------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 67 - as of yesterday/27 years with PD) www.bentwillowfarm.org > Parkinson's disease impacts brain's centers of touch and vision > Movement disorder affects more than just motor control > Although Parkinson's disease is most commonly viewed as a "movement > disorder," scientists have found that the disease also causes widespread > abnormalities in touch and vision Ð effects that have now been verified > using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
