but I am with Paula on this one.

I recently was on a cruise and I was very embarrassed when I had to ask a waiter to carry my tea to a table. When I tell them it is PD there is typically a period of embarrassed silence then they move away (or tell me of an aged relative who had PD and died within 3 years).

PD to me is a "socially humiliating disease", non verbal communication is very important and I hate having lost it.
