Re: temperatureautonomous dysfunctions

[rayilynlee <rayilynlee@xxxxxxx>]

I'm wondering how much temperature malfunctions in stroke patients are
similar to PD patients.  After my Mom had her stroke she had horrible,
terrifying hot, cold, and itching spells and nothing helped.  I think it is
why she opted for morphine patches at the end.
