I was just speaking with my father, and he mentioned that his fingertips get very sensitive to the cold now. He also mentioned that his feet have been becoming very sweaty and clammy for no reason. His doctors said it was from PD, but couldn't explain why. Actually the cold appears to increase his symptoms drastically. Anyone else experience the same? ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Bent Willow Sent: Thursday, February 13, 1997 8:33 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: foot problem .

If his big toe is *cold* and numb there is a possibility that it is, indeed, a circulatory problem. I'm not familiar with PD acting in this fashion - but I've seen more than a few folks with arterial spasm or occlusion who voice that complaint. ------ Mary Ann
