Hi Barb,
I sure enjoy your posts, though I don't remember hearing much from you
till recently. Of course, I've only been the list for a few months.

Sorry you got flamed, but can't imagine why. Probably someone took
something the wrong way, that's easy to do via e-mail.

Barb, has anyone done anything at all with biofeedback regarding PD
stress? I ask because biofeedback has become virtually mainstream
treatment for stress reduction. Insurance companies and even Medicare
now cover biofeedback. Has had good success in treating high blood
pressure, incontinence, several aspects of diabetes, and
jaw/shoulder/back pain due to tension. I have used it for management
of arthritis pain, with about 60-80% relief. Since I've become more
involved with PDIE, I can't help wondering if it might help with some
aspects, such as stress and balance.

No, I didn't receive it; however, I'll e-mail it to you privately later
today, as it's rather long.
