Not anxiety - frustration / fury. The odd thing is that I can lie on my back andwave my legs about but they just won't co-ordinate for walking when I'm "off".Sometimes when it happens in public I get so embarrassed I go rigid and can't move at all. A few weeks ago I had virtually to be dragged out of an office Iwas visiting about a job - 10 minutes rest later was walking down the street.....odd....never did hear about the job in spite of explanations. Once froze halfway across a strip of pavement and an obliging lady unfroze me by shouting"boo" in my ear - she said it worked on her late husband. > Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:41:14 -0400 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: That wasn't the answer > To: [log in to unmask] > > A couple of gentlemen in the PD exercise group that I co-lead have told me > that they've found a laser pointer to be helpful in such situations.
