I have a tough time walking in >pink/red lighting situations. Hey folks, Just been reading your mail and it hit a bell. If there is one place I get more trouble than any other it is in our SUPERMARKET. In the days I was trying to adjust to Sinemet and Eldepryl I REALLY had problems in there. Nausea was worse, light headedness AND wobbly legs. More than 2 years ago Julia remarked to me that, "It's funny you always have trouble in the the supermarket!" I pondered it momentarily then thought, .. nah!... Can't see any logic in that! One more thing, Julia has several times had what she can only describe as "Panic attacks" in supermarkets and needs to get out as soon as possible. She has failed to obtain all the items on the list because of this on several occasions. She does not have PD or anything else to account for it and she is really practical and down to earth, so why? It is not the crowds, because we make a point of going in quiet periods. Can't be coincidence, surely? Is it just the lighting? Is it worth further investigation and thought? Ernie 53. diag 3years.
