I've noticed severe foot swelling (even after my pallidotomy) twice with the
past 3 years. Each time it lasted for about 5 to 7 days. Not painful, just
scary... I used a diuretic herbal tea... very common blend made up of juniper
berries.. An over the counter product in any health food market. It's under
the well known "Weightless" brand, and'll cost ya maybe $3 for a box of 10 tea
bags.
BTW... IF you or any of our list members are tea drinkers such as I am (never
drank coffee after my first taste of it at 16!) <smile>, Weightless puts out
several other very tasty herbal teas, with a heavenly spicy smell to the
brewed tea. And if I can taste 'em and smell 'em, well, ANY Parkie could!
('cause there ain't a whole helluva lotta stuff that's tasty and/or pleasant
smelling to THIS Parkie-type-gal) Enjoy.......

Hi Folks:
I just read Sam's article and learned something new abour PD that is why this
list service is so dam good.
I never new that swelling feet was a PD symptom and Sams article was the
first time I have noticed it mentioned. I have been on a shoe buying spree
never quite getting a comfortable shoe even though I buy larger than pre PD.
Is swelling feet a common PD related ailment?
