Syd Adams--just a thought about your falls--has your doctor told you that you have orthostatic hypotension--low blood pressure that may cause you to fall if arising quickly,etc.? Low blood pressure can be a problem for PWPs(people with PD) and was apparently what caused Peter to fall flat on his face, and on the curb, when crossing the street. He had no warning, no blackout,didn't trip, etc. The sticky feet part does not apply to Peter, and he does not fall a lot, but had a couple of other episodes when he ended up on the floor suddenly and unawares.Not hurt, fortunately, and said it seemed like falling asleep on his feet!
