I fall about on the average of once a month. I am at home alone during the day and I usually fall because I freeze and when reaching for something I FALL. I am very impatient and get very angry with myself and my limitations. sometimes I lose my equilibrim and fall backwards.that frightens me more because I have no way of breaking my fall. I am taking steps to help though--- I now have a medical alarm necklace but most of all, I TRY To just be reasonable about my off times and sit down whenever I feel my limitations] are at their worst. carol gray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
