Welcome Mary, to you AND your questions.....I believe from Peter's
experience and what others have reported that "slowing" affects mind,
speech, etc. as well as mobility. This is something he is well aware of,

until I'm ON !"
You will find discussion in the archives, too---an invaluable resource for
all of us. Someone referred to this as a "zombie" feeling--does that ring
a bell?
