Default my two cents

In my case, i have left foot cramp whilst PD mostly (and firstly) affected my right foot. After 6 years of dx, I never have right foot cramp! I realized that my body has become a bit asymmetrical with atrophy or weakened muscle on the right side which leads to over-stretching of my left side. Recently, I have received acupressure therapy which stretches and relieves the stiffness of my right foot. On last Sunday, I was able to walk one and a half miles free of foot cramp from home to city mall and went on shopping in a crowded supermarket (all were done without any medications).

Having said that, I understand that PD affects each of us differently and there are also ups and downs.
