Catherine I have had Prkinsons about 7 years. I find that any illness, esp an infection always knocks me out of kilter for a while. I just maintain my meds, sometmes take an extra sinement and it passes and I am back to normal in a couple of weeks. His infection sounded particularly rough. I also take advil an extra couple of days in order to make sure the infection is gone. I think Prkinsons is like an infection and other infections really impact me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine Gilbert" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 4:37 AM Subject: exhaustion and big change in parkinsons? > Dear Listmates,i am new to this list, my name is Catherine, i have a > question please this time but i hope that i can also answer any other > questions within this group too.
