I also love to invent things to make my life easier. When I am in the bent over running forward mode I put on a u shaped neck pillow and a homemade soft back pack. and it seems to balance me. I also never move without first thinking about the consequences. I'm learning to keep my feet in a wider stance and to place myself in the proper spot so I don't have to lean to reach.I know I have less diskenesia when I keep my affected arm in my lap when eating and pick up a sandwitch with my good arm as I do with a glass of liquid . I do better with my arms working low not high.I also have tons more suggestions f; or problems I have encountered. Let me know; if you want to hear them. I am the retired speech therapist and now must practice what I preached. My best to you' Betty Jo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
