Hi! Im your new PD member
 

My name is Larry, diagnosd with Parkinsion's in Jan 2003, when I was having trouble writing. Have had the deep brain stimulation surgery (with no apparent success) and am now living in an independent living facility. I have never had a tremor,still can't write and speech has been reduced to gibberish, stutteirng snd stammering (Not good for one who made his living as a trial lawyer), and I fall whenever I get too far from my electris cart or walker.I stumbled upon your site as I was researching the benefits. if any, of exercise on the symptmsof PD.Does anyon have any expeience with exercise having any effect on the symptoms of PD? your site looks helpful I hope yoou can help me deal with my insrmoontable conderns.

Let us know if you need any help navigating around the site. :hug:

Welcome to the site.

I wanted to thank Shelley or the person that linked the exercise thread too.

I am not sure if that would help me, but I'm looking for some help in some areas too.

But its not parkinson related exactly. But lots of neuro related things,
have the same benefit.

So thanks.
