JOhn had a very bad bout of panick attacks + dyspneia during the winter. These attacks were really frightening and we couldnīt relate them to the treatment and the various doses of sinemet. One night he woke me up once again to tell me one attack was on its way. I don īt like being wakened up, especially when I cannot do anything about it so, half asleep, I told John to recite a poem. He was a little surprised but he started to recite the bits he could remember from Tennysonīs Lady of Shalot. Whether the Lady did something or the use of a forgotten part of his brain affected the rest of it, I donīt know but that was the beginning of the end of these dreadful panick attacks. From then on, he waited firmly for them to reappear and confronted them with new passages of the poem. Worked....so far. maryse cg JOhn 78,18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn panic attacks - breathing into a paper bag (not plastic) is an old remedy but does work, possibly due to embarrasment caused....shame it won't fix the pd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
