Default Dyskinesia

I have very severe Sinemet - induced Dyskinesia. My MDS calls it "ballistic".

VERY difficult for me to walk.

But something interesting occurs when I crouch down to walk ... the Dyskinesia all but disappears!

Bent over at the waist with knees also bent slightly - hands on knees or lower.

Lowering my center of gravity, I guess you could say.

I can't do it for long because it wears me out - crouched down and walking. But if there is a place I have to be in a 'hurry' (like the mailman knocking or a grandchild screaming) I crouch down and go.

What do you think? Seen this before?

Thank you!..
