and all who participate in this discussion. it gives me a purpose in life to bring info to PIEN. your support keeps me going and I will go as long as I can. I think it is important that we communicate with each other. Hearing I've helped someone makes me feel a little less powerless against PD. So thank you!! -----Original Message----- From: Rick McGirr Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2013 11:16 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: preventing falls Indeed. Add my thanks, Ray.

Luckily, I haven't had a fall..l yet, but came close. Recently I became aware of a treatment that involved using a device called a Theracycle. The researchers at the Cleveland clinec did some work on this and it is shown on a video clip on U Tube. If their claims are correct, after using this cycle for a short period of time, the major PD symptoms disappear for up to a month. It is forced exercise as the cycle is driven by an electric motor. I am wondering if any of the folks on the list serv had experienced this and if so, did it modify their symptoms. If I remember correctly, I can reach all of the list serv members by sending the message to [log in to unmask] I do thank you for the good work you do in informing all of us on PD information. I dont know how you manage to do it, but we all certainly thankyou. --- On Wed, 3/13/13, Rayilyn Brown <[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Rayilyn Brown <[log in to unmask]> Subject: preventing falls To: [log in to unmask] Date: Wednesday, March 13, 2013, 11:58 PM http://www.webmd.com/parkinsons-disease/guide/preventing-falls Ray Rayilyn Brown Past Director AZNPF Arizona Chapter National Parkinson Foundation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
