Gina, don't blame your self , it is not true and doesn't help. You gave me an idea, I will try my own medicine on my overweight problem. I was not overweight until last summer and most of my meds (remember not PD) made me so sleepy, I hardly moved. Except I obviously made it to the table and ate. I will have a whirl at telling myself to stop it. Nita Gina Cass. wrote: > Dear Nita: > I understand the outlook part of willing myself to feel better.
