The podcast came on immediately, and I like it very much. Look forward to hearing the next hundreds of them.
To people who tell me I'm looking fine, I say, 'Thank you, I feel great!" On good days it's quite genuine, on not so good days it is obvious to both parties that the whole exchange is a sham.
When I'm in a wicked mood I may say, 'Thank you, I'll get over it yet." And I suspect some of them believe me.
I hate making people embarrassed. I have a life long, involuntary, irresistible need to defuse embarrassing situations, which often makes it difficult for me to explain to people that I have PD.
I'm sorry to admit that when I'm asked if I feel all right, I tend to say, 'It's not as bad as it seems.'
I'm no help at all in spreading information about PD.
