I think there's some truth in it too.
For me when I'm stumbling (I only have trouble with my gait these days) if someone says something which they usually do like "are you okay" just the simple act of trying to process those words let alone reply is enough to make my stumble worse.
John, do you have tremor dominant PD?
Is it a resting tremor? If so maybe it's pretty standard.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Hi Lee,

I actually have very little tremor, but it happens once in awhile in my right hand, arm, and even my foot. I'm mostly spastic with some bradikinesia with my right side. This is what surprised me when my left hand decided to do the dance like that.

Trying to do too many things at once... that's the story of my life! Unfortunately when playing the piano, you have to do more than one thing otherwise there's no music.
