I have issues but a lot of time i lose balance and fall. I've froze on the stairs several times too. I find it harder when I get embarrassed or feel embarassed.

FOG is the worse! I read professionals are trying to upgrade DBS and will be able to get rid of freezing. Have you heard the same?

A friend if mine uses a laser pointer to step over. It's an illusion to his mind to step over.

This is a tricky one. We probably need one of our MDS's to come on and talk about that. I'll look into getting Dr. Hinkle on the show.

What about PD drooling?

Hi Nick! Be sure to tune in over the next couple of weeks. We just recorded a podcast with Brian's MDS and he said he used Botox for people who have issues with drooling due to PD. Might be something to ask your Neurologist!
