A little background: 55 year old female, peri-menopausal, normally low to
normal blood pressure,un-eventual health history, in general excellent
health, 5'2", 120 pounds, mother of a 27 year old female with down
syndrome, mother died at 77 (complications from severe Parkingson's and
type II diabetes), father 83 and healthy.
Problem: for the last couple of months, sporadic light dizziness together
with a sensation that my right leg simply will not support my weight.
At that point.I must find something to lien on, or I will fall. The leg
feels like a piece of lead and will not respond to my command.
This could happen when I first wake up or in the middle of the day, it is
always the right leg. Other than vitamins, Ginko, CoQ-10 and Heavy Duty
vitamins, the only thing I take on a daily basis are a low dosage of
Zolof for depression and Melatonin to help me sleep.
I am very concern about the Posibility of Parkingson's and would like your
opinion before I go to my phisician. Please Help !
