Errrrr...feel like a fool for saying this, but just now, since I was right in the middle of my usual annoying and uncomfortable 15 minute a.m. toe -cramping when I saw the online copy of Ann Landers' "toe-cramp cure," I tried it..... and the darn thing WORKED! <--look of astonishment on gorgeous face!> Just a quick pinch on my upper lip right below my nose, and ::::::poof::::: like magic - in mere moments - the toe-cramps were gone and the toes were relaxed!! Totally relaxed... After 23 years of living with PD, this is the first "PD-syptom-cure" that I didn't need a physician, a prescription, or brain surgery for! <grin> AND it was FREE!!!
