I know I'm about a week late in replying to this but Mama has this pressing sensation on the neck and head, too. It is always there but worse during her off times. During off time she has to sit in her "PD" chair and have her head and neck supported by the back of the chair. Once in a while the "heavy hand" sensation on the back of her neck is gone and her head feels like a helium balloon trying to float away. Hopefully, the DBS STN in two weeks will alleviate that symptom.

Chen Sent: Saturday, October 02, 1999 12:21 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Strange feeling Hi All, I have an 82 year old friend with PD and he says that sometimes it feels like a hand is pressing down on the back of his head and neck. This usually happens when he is out for a walk and the last time, the sensation was so strong, he fell forward and hurt himself. He is on Requip 1mg three times a day and Sinemet CR 50/200 three times a day. Has anyone felt this sensation before? Curious, --Jack
