i suggest that when an attack,, occurs , and he's on 'pins andd needles', and must stand up (like me) it helps to take a sshower, walk the dog, go down and make a sandwich, drive over to a pizzeria, get on an exercicle until all muscles hurt and you're happy to lie down. love bernie 63/12 ---------- From: E.

Richards <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN <[log in to unmask]> Subject: My father Date: Wednesday, October 14, 1998 10:49 AM Hi all, I have posted for my father and our family before, and have learned an ENORMOUS amount from this group. I have a question about my father's recent condition. He has recently gotten VERY anxious and depressed - having to get up and walk constantly, not being able to lie down or even sit, not being able to do ANYTHING without having to get up. He is afraid, but all the fears are vague and have no real foundation. Can anyone help? I realize it may be the disease itself but it would help to have some feedback from folks who have it.
