Default ankles

Birte - I hear you! The worse thing about taking Mirapex after I was first dx'd was the edema in my ankles and feet - it made one much larger than the other; I needed new shoes, but was too embarrassed to shop for them. My doctor said "wear support hose!" I cried, "I'm only 41!"

My ankles were a huge reason (and they were huge!) I titrated back on the agonists.

Today they are the only completely slim thing about me, and my feet fit into all of my old shoes again. This makes me very happy!

It's the small things in life sometime that are the most important.
