Dave, In response to your question to Alan re: blue filters to calm his
dyskinesia and asthma I will jump in and add my two bits.
I am 50 year old woman with PD.  My greatest problem with my PD used to occur
when trying to walk (or breathe) in bright afternoon sunlight.  I tried the
blue filters and now have a
pair of my prescription glasses tinted blue.......I have dramatic improvement
in my movement while wearing blue glasses. (Might add that I tried this after
having had lunch with Alan and Tom Reiss).  I have a dramatic reduction in my
rigidity, and fine motor skills when wearing the blue glasses.
 
Do not know what is causing the change in movement.  I have discussed this
with several neurologists as of yet we have no answers.
 
Try dark blue plastic or cellophane covering your eyes.  See if you have any
change in movement.
 
I will also add that I experience very negative changes in my pd with other
colors of filters.  Do not try using these filters the first time when you
are by yourself, just as a precaution.
