To what extent would this description of a different disease (to be revealed later) apply to you during an "off" period? Not all of them apply even in the actual condition so don't think of it as a comprehensive listing. For example, mine might include ABCDEGHIMOP
Patients first -A- lose their alertness, then their -B- muscle strength and -C- coordination. -D- Thinking grows fuzzy, and finally the patient becomes so tired that he -E-becomes "zombie-like," Additional symptoms include -F-headaches, -G-double vision, -H-staggering or inability to walk, -I-a craving for salt and/or sweets, -J-abdominal distress, -K-chronic colitis, -L-ringing in the ears, -M-unusual patterns in the frequency of urination, -N-skin eruptions and inflammations, -O-pain in the neck and shoulder muscles, -P-memory problems, and -Q-sudden and excessive sweating.

Just when Off...A B C D F H L O P Q
L is actually 100% of the time, so it may not count...I also have two other hearing conditions.

All list C and O. -
All but Ibken and I list A and D. - all but I list B, - everett is alone on E and G All but Peggy list I, Peggy is alone on J and L All but Rd42 list H All but I list M All but Peggy, Ibken and I list P All but everett and I list Q Too tired to go to bed, so I'm fiddling. I don't know what this break down shows/proves if anything, it was just interesting to see how much or little we had in common. I'm also too tired to double check, so I apologize for possible errors. birte Last edited by BEMM; 10-30-2006 at 11:06 PM.

Hi Rick,
I can only put A,C and H. Your C does not really describe my walking problems, I don't stagger, I'm just unable to move my legs to walk. i shuffle. On D and E, my mind is the best part of me. I have a memory like an elephant, and don't have to look up numbers like visa card, phone numbers etc You don't have "propensity to fall" I am falling repeatedly, and i am steadily getting problems as a result. You know I have got a dislocated shoulder joint, which docs say is untreatable. I have now aded a broken finger. Suggest you add falling to symptons Also, it would be interesting to add Number of years of PD, 15 years for me. Best wishes Ron |
