I recently joined the Exchange. My mother had PD. She is 77 years old. Its been several years now. The many subject that you cover have been very interesting. She suffers from Arthiritus, Diabeties, and PD, also low Thiroid. She has shaking in her legs. A small suffling walk. She uses a cane and walker now. Her mind is clear and so is her speech. Her writing had gotten so tiny you can barely read it. She suffers from ringing in the ears. She has a lot of pain in her arms and joints. Muscle cramping in uper arms. She wants to know if other PD sufferers have pain or if the pain is from something else. She also remembers driving to another town and having the car sprayed by a crop duster. She said she choked on the spray. She worked in the cotten fields as a child. She would like people opiniopn mostly about the pain. Oh she does experience ridgid legs in the morning and restless legs at night. But she can usually sleep pretty good. Thank you Jean
