I just returned from Traverse City, MI where I gave three talks on PFP (using the first DVD I have ever made!) The talk at the Senior Center PD Support Group was particularly poignant. One couple told me they were heading straight to the bike shop. Another man said he was still reeling from his diagnosis last week and this gave him hope. Someone had sold their bike because of balance issues but was going to get a three wheeler. The stories went on and on.

I was a bit concerned about giving the talks because I had just dropped my ReQuipXL from 6 mg. to 4 mg., but this was not a problem. In fact, I felt more energy than when I was on the larger dose. I was able to use my brother's mountain bike on a trainer in the garage to spin for an hour each day. That helped a huge amount. We also discovered that the more tired I became at the end of the day, the best option was to get out and walk for a half hour or so.
