HELLO MY NAME IS BRENDA CHALLINGSWORTH, I'M 34 YRS OLD AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSONS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I BELIEVE IT STARTED WHEN I WAS 30, I CAN REMEMBER WRITING TO MY SISTER AND HAVING TO STOP BECAUSE OF TREMORS. I WAS IN THE NAVY WHEN THE FINALLY DECIDED WHAT WAS WRONG. OF COURSE I'M MEDICAL RETIRED FROM THE NAVY. SO FAR I'M DOING OK. IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO DO EVERDAY STUFF BUT I HAVE A WONDERFUL HUSBAND TO HELP. I'M HAVING A HARD TIME WITH MY FEET. MY ANKLES LOOK LIKE ELEPHANT'S ANKLES. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GET THE SWELLING DOWN AND IT DOES HURT TO WALK. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
