From: Tebay, Wendy M on Fri, Aug 15, 1997 12:42 PM Subject: ice cream To: PD Listserv Postings I find the discussions regarding ice cream amusing. Back in high school, I worked at Baskin Robbins dipping ice cream and got rather sick of it. I also had a huge muscle on my right forearm to show for it. In the past few years, my appetite for ice cream has returned, and now I eat it fairly often. Last summer I was trying to put some weight back on (between the pd and stress re: my job) I had unintentionally lost weight. I ended up drinking a shake every day for a while there, with regular ice cream and Ensure (rather than milk cuz it had more vitamins, etc.). I guess one good thing about the pd, is that everyone is jealous that I don't have a weight problem (at least not in the usual sense). If anything, I find that I need to eat alot, and almost constantly to keep my energy up, cuz that has as much direct effect on my symptoms as do the meds. Wendy Tebay
