hi all for whatever it may be worth [fwimbw] i recall that during the months pre-diagnosis [i.e. most of 1988 and 1987] i had become less and less active and my ankles and feet became more and more swollen [my blood pressure was probably high - i had also gained weight] [[but did i go see a doctor? - noooo...]] the swelling was such that my feet had grown by one full shoe size after diagnosis after sinemetization and the associated miraculous transformation from a slug to a busy-bee the swelling disappeared completely and i saw the outlines of veins on the top of my feet for the first time in two years and also rigidity = a pd [type B-2.0054 (iiv)] symptom = possible under-medication? your cyber-sibling in sorting symptoms janet janet paterson - 51/10 - almonte/ontario/canada http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/ [log in to unmask]
