Neuroscientists are becoming more aware that PD affects peripheral and autonomous nerve centers as well as movement control centers in the brain. I think a lot of us PWP have impaired temperature control as well as temperature sensing, but maybe not enough to notice it as you have. Some other senses such as olfaction (smell), taste, and touch also decline, but slowly enough to escape notice. Cheers, Joe -- J. R. Bruman (818) 789-3694 3527 Cody Road Sherman Oaks, CA 91403-5013
