    Freezing of gait, especially when initiating a turn or backing up, is, by far, the most obnoxious PD symptom that I have encountered in the five or six years that I’ve been battling this ailment. I am an eighty-three year-old male in otherwise good health. Combined with some balance and coordination problems, the freezing of gait has caused a few falls, of which two resulted in shoulder injuries.

    I received my first two shots of the Pfizer vaccine last February and the Pfizer  booster this past September, all with practically no adverse effects, just a little tenderness in my arm for a few hours. I must be one of the fortunate persons who has never had an adverse reaction to any vaccination within memory, going back to receiving a tetanus booster shot when I was seven years old, about 75 years ago.
