Yes, I often have that feeling of pressure of tensed muscles in my neck and shoulders. Happens especially when I've been sitting at computer or desk for a extended period of time. Rolling my head around beginning by leaning to my left shldr and rotating on around to front, right and back helps loosen the pressured feeling. May I suggest your friend call NPF tollfree 1-800-327-4545 and ask for the publication on exercises for Parkinson's Patients. It has some clear, easy to follow strengthening and flexibility exercises with excellent illustrations of how to do them. Jeanette Fuhr 49/47/44? ---------- From: Jack J. Chen <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Strange feeling Date: Saturday, October 02, 1999 11:20 AM 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
