Exactly Robert! My husband tries counting but I cannot seem to focus on his words and my walking. With the exception of a straight away path with no turns or narrow openings. I recently tried an app (metronome) but still experiencing the same issue of concentrating on steps and having auditory input. Visual cuing is another strategy-lines t…[Read more]

I was diagnosed @6 years ago and have taken CR Sinemet for 3 years now. First started with bedtime to help start in morning. Then 3 times during day at same time as IR. Now I have more off times and gait/balance issues as well as freezing and falling. Dyskinesia started about 6 months ago which can be caused by too much Levadopa Just had a…[Read more]
