I started with the same story as this lovely lady who has lived with #Parkinsons for 37 years ..I too also noticed my handwriting was very small ..otherwise known as #micrographia.
That was 7 years ago and I hope I’m like her in another 30 years! Dancing in the face of PD! 💃
Did you know in Parkinson’s you can mix stretching with dancing and never leave the safety of a chair? Great demonstration today for @UFCAM @FixelInstitute Parkinson Symposium @ParkinsonDotOrg #parkinson
