Hi Dirk, * I've had some symptoms which come and go and sometimes come again. For several years I had excruciating "toe curling" in my right foot. These dissipated and were mostly gone for about a year but lately have returned in a vengence but mostly in my left foot. * I've noticed a connection between arm swing and cramping in the muscles of my wrist. Wrist ok, arm swing returns, albeit not a full swing. * Very recently I began to have difficulties getting comfortable in bed. In this case I analyzed the mechanics of moving across the bed and relearned how to change position. I go to sleep with my feet propped against the wall to keep them from cramping. Once I am asleep my body seems to return to normal and my feet come back to bed. * My dysgraphia (sp.) (handwriting) varies with writing tools. Fat pens with soft grips work well. It is impossible for me to know which drugs or supplements have roles to play in these situations. I take Cogenten, and fish oil, magnesium, calcium, vit.D, CoQ10 and vit,C. It would take years to sort out which substances or combination of such really works. -- Steve in VT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
