    Kathy Bloomberg-Rissman replied to the topic Do you like to box? in the forum Parkinson's Disease and exercise 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    Absolutely love it!  I try to go at least twice a week.  I can feel awful before and always feel good afterwards.  And, as others have said, they other boxers are so welcoming and happy to help.

    Kathy Bloomberg-Rissman replied to the topic How do you dress for medical appointments? in the forum Living ​With​ ​Parkinson's Disease 8 months, 3 weeks ago

    It never occurred to me that I should dress differently for appointments. I wear the same stretchy pants or shorts, a t shirt and sandals.  I also fly in them and lie about the house in them.  I’ve become one of those “old” ladies in my pull on pants.  However they’re the only thing that doesn’t hurt my abdomen when the constipation gets really painful.
