M'dear Silly Cyber-Sis.... (Barb lifts a ginger snap in salute) <Mmmmm.... YUMMY!) In all my years as a Parkie, I've never heard of any PWP 'sides yourself who hadn't lost a significant part of their "old factory" <smile> senses. Tho to be truthful, I haven't exactly gone from Parkie-to-Parkie ASKING if they had lost their sense of taste 'n smell, either. Hmmm.... maybe your good fortune was caused by the salubrious climate of your soon-to-be-ex-home, Bermuda? And how'll your senses react upon your removing yourself to the wilds of Canada? WOWIE! We might be on to something here, Sis! I think you should oh-so-carefully monitor your sense of smell and taste once you've made the big move (and at THIS rate, it'll take place in Jan. of 2004!) <giggling and ducking> and see if your olfactory senses head north along with the rest of you! GET PACKING, SIS!! <grin> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of janet paterson Sent: Monday, December 01, 1997 4:55 AM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: old factory news hi again barb i believe that a head trauma and an exposure to pesticide triggered or caused my pd back in 1981 the pesticide exposure was immediately followed by a loss of my sense of taste for several hours [which my neuro later seemed to think was a severe reaction] however, i have not noticed any loss of my old factory abilities [or my new factory abilities either, for that matter] in all the time that i have had pd i found another very technical study in my archives about testosterone and rats and olfactory dysfunction which i can send in, if you really want me to! can you tell i'm procrastin-aching about packing? your cybyr sys in silliniss janet janet [log in to unmask]
