>It is especially troublesome in the mornings when it is too painful for her

>I said that I had never heard of this but that it might be a reaction to

>Anyway, her doctor says that it is PD related and doesn't go into any more

>Can anyone shed any light or shared experiences on this?  He is especially
>anxious to find a treatment since the condition is sometimes disabling.
