<h1>Mind Games</H1>

I continue to think, I think, that I am getting more off balance. The problem is, there are times when I exercise when I am full-on balance. Last Sunday I had a particularly bad attack, so much so that my daughter all but carried me to my car. Let us hope it was an isolated attack. Funny thing about my PD, it comes and goes. When it comes, it does so in all its fury and then it goes away and rarely returns.
examples

• Early on I would get the most awful cramps twisting my leg and causing my foot to turn inward and upward.
• I called it "the beast". The beast has gone into hibernation.
• You might recall me meeting a woman on an elevator who asked "what floor?" and when I answered, my mouth was so full of spittle, it sprayed the air, I looked and felt like a moronic child. Fortunately, this has not been repeated.
• festination is a puzzle. I have had only one incident that can be described as a classical festination. I have had had falls but no further full festinating. One doctor explained the cause and told me it would probably be the only time it happens.

Now it is a balance. Am I really balanced or do I just think I am or does the balance issue come and go like my other symptoms? I can confirm I was actually off balance last Sunday but a couple of days later, I could walk a straight line, moving toe-to-toe.

As I have said before, we blame every ache and pain on PD. It is better to seek a doctor's opinion and one of these days I will give that a try.

Is there a psychiatrist in the house?
