  • Do you have a PD symptom that most people do not understand?

    I was in yoga today and the instructor had us laying on our backs with our straight legs propped against the wall.  The instructor gave me a quizzical look when I said I could not scoot my butt up to the wall to achieve the proper pose.   I find it difficult to maneuver my body when laying on the floor (especially rolling over in bed).  After the class I explained to the instructor that it was a PD symptom that prevented me from doing the pose correctly.  Once I explained why to her, she totally understood and was quite sympathetic.

     

    Do you have a PD symptom where you were able to educate someone who does not have the disease?

    Glad to hear your yoga instructor was understanding, Jean. Were you able to modify the pose for your needs?
