I find this quite interesting. My husband has been leaning toward one side and slouching more and more this year. I've been so surprised and this sheds some light on the problem. We will be seeing a new neurologist and it will be interesting to see what he has to say. This has also seemed to have an effect on his balance and "freezing". Thank you for pointing this out. and thank you to Rayilyn for sharing the article. Dot cgBill 69/74/67 In a message dated 7/13/2009 2:46:07 A.M.
